Lehinch to Tralee, day 9

Knees. We've all got them and they're pretty useful too, acting as the fulcrum between upper and lower parts of the leg. For cyclists this is pretty handy, in fact somewhat crucial, enabling power to be transferred from person to pushbike. So when knees aren't working properly it's a real pain in the, erm, knee. Unfortunately yesterday's climbing had taken it's toll and all three of us were in a world of bendy joint pain. Still, Ireland is treating us well in other respects and the sunshine and good banter with locals has kept us going. We've even been given free ibuprofen from a local chemist.

Thanks to all for the supportive messages. Lots of love and see you soon.
