The cycle ride was really long and it took ages to complete. How will we survive the second day, let alone the full ten days? We only had a couple of minor incidents, such as Rick's altercation with a barbed-wire fence in Downhill (which was actually uphill). This was soon followed by a blowout of Ben's back tyre, swiftly repaired by the roadside before we were on our way again.
Up at half seven tomorrow morning, ready for stage two from Derry city to Arranmore Island, Donegal. Off to bed now to rest our weary legs.
Altercations with inanimate objects expected with Rick & Ben's involvement.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your back tyre, did Rick make use of the barbed wire to slow you down? You're too good on hills (having San Fran flashbacks).
Love the victims of Madrid. Xxx
I'm enjoying the updates. I particularly enjoyed the comparison with an alcoholic farmer's blanket, mentioned in an earlier post. Thinking of you as it is raining cats and dogs here, so can only imagine that on the Irish coast its raining tigers and bears. Katie
