Christ on a bike! I'd expect the Irish to lay a patio better than that!

Sussed it, a road course somewhere. No it wasn't that one, 30 mph on this road would be racing, I was doing 5-10.
More pics.

And today I have the grandfather of all colds, real man flu stuff. Nose dripping like a tap, which is not ideal inside a helmet. Bloody Irish germs.

Re: Old Bikers never die, they just go on tour.
And another loooong day, Galway to Killarney via the Cliffs of Mohor and the Ring of Kerry, with Valencia island thrown in for good measure.
Absolutely stunning scenery, yesterday and today.
The good new is my man flu is subsiding and I may just survive.

Sorry, that was a repeat. Pasting to this board is a PITA.

Re: Old Bikers never die, they just go on tour.
Some new pics.
Spent most of today on some seriously nadgery roads, where it was preferable to ride on the grass/gravel in the middle rather than the potholes in the wheel track.

Re: Old Bikers never die, they just go on tour.
Last year we did the South West part of the WAW,up to Galway.Thoroughly enjoyable,I would say that my favourite road was the Slea Head loop out of Dingle & the area around Kenmare.We were fortunate in that we had less than 1 hours light rain on the whole trip 
I've been meaning to go back when we get a dry spell,been waiting a while..
