Ok, so we've had comments that the blog updates are being publishes quite later in the evening (a bit difficult if we can't find wi-fi and we do need to rest and refuel!), so here is an early one to kick of day 4.
We're staying in an amazing little bed and breakfast called Una's Little Haven in Dundalk - run by a lovely lady called Una. She's looked after us extremely well - even to the point of dropping us done to the pub she recommended for dinner. She asked the staff to look after us we were treated like royalty and enjoyed the finest
meal (and a nice pint of Guinness) of the week to date. A huge Irish steak, some good Irish taters and topped off with some stunning homemade deserts (Baileys cheesecake was a winner!).
Una was such a considerate host that she even came back to collect us back to the B&B! Irish hospitality remains amongst the finest in the world.
We wanted to stay up to 11:30pm to catch the Tour De France highlights after missing them the day before, so we settled in for a quick game of Nomination Whist - clinically and decisively won by Martin.
TDF highlights done and heads hit pillows. Hard.
Start of day 4, over 330 miles and 4500 metres of climbing in the legs, but the Guinness is sustaining us well...
We're expecting rain as we head into the Morn mountains today, but we've had the luck of the Irish so far, so let's see....
Amazing Irish breakfast consumed as ready to set off - might try and get a couple of pics uploaded before we leave.
Hi Lads,
ReplyDeleteKeep on writing, its very entertaining, must try Ireland for a long weekend some time in view of your comments. You should all be super fit after this ride. Lets hope the weather is kind for the rest of your ride, the weather back here is not that great with rain the rest of the week & weekend, well thats what they say. Is Kea okay as he seems not to have any bike problems today ?
Is the beers poll how many beers each or all together...?
ReplyDeleteJust to confirm it's total beers consumed all together. And Kel's fine Ant, he went the whole day without a mechanical!
ReplyDeleteoops! On the first Guiness poll I did beers each.
