Today was originally a biking day, but the forecast looked better for Monday so we swapped. I was feeling pretty lazy in the morning as the rain poured down outside. But - the skies cleared up and by shortly after noon Gary, Ron & I were ready to take a ride to Tralee via the backroads. The day was cool but muggy. We got a bit of rain at the high point on the way there, but nothing much to worry about. It was the only time on any of our biking days that I even had a rain jacket on. Who’d a thunk it? All that rain gear stayed in my suitcase for the duration. Hopefully we’ll be nearly that fortunate on the hike. Our ride today was a beautiful loop ride. Gary had general instructions from Dennis (the owner of the house where we are staying) but pretty much relied on memory, instinct and Google Maps. It was a pretty fast pace with those two, but a fun ride with lots of climbing. Here are a few pics.....
Trudy, Nada & Irene drove to Tralee with Mary (owner of the house we are staying at). Trudy wasn’t willing to wait 4 to 14 hours at emerg, so she still does not have treatment for her suspected broken wrist. She just wraps it up and continues on; tough cookie! They did some shopping and “water zorbing”. Photos courtesy of Nada...........
Sherry rode her bike to the local pool for a bit, although she only got there shortly before closing.
Everyone had another good day.
Bike stats for the day:
66.05 km
2413 feet of climbing
