Eddie O'Dea


One for the high spirits

Eddie O‘Dea, born in 1975, is a passionate cyclist. He works, lives and plays with bicycles. His racing career began with cross country, but soon evolved into a focus on endurance. With a taste of success in the long distance races, Eddie began to push his limits and has since taken on sixteen solo 24 hour races with many podiums along the way. When not on the bike Eddie is a race director, professional bike fitter and technique instructor as well as a marketing representative for Topeak.

He himself calls it „a love for the ardent spirits“. Be it beer, wine or ye good ol‘ distillers fruit - Eddie is fond of all fine liquor. But being a responsible and disciplined bike racing pro, he keeps mastering the toughest cross country and endurance races for Topeak Ergon Racing Team of course - and cherishing every minute with his Namrita.
