Biography
Grolar and Havok rider, Steve Halligan grew up on a small farm in the west of Ireland. He spent most of his time outside playing football and working on the farm. He rode bikes and enjoyed it to commute and explore a bit, but football was his main sport all the way through his teens and into his twenties. However, it was only a short time after arriving to New Zealand in 2008 that Steve developed a huge passion for all things cycling.
Over the years, the races have got longer and the adventures bigger. Cycling and ultra endurance racing have given me a real sense of purpose, a drive to explore my limits on every level. It’s my biggest meditation, a sense of peace, and a union with nature. And, it’s so much FUN!
