    Its a lovely spin up around there. Often think about how remote it must have been living up there when you see the house ruins dotted around

    They need to make tan walls for Lambo tyres - it would actually look class

    Seems to be a gap in the market there re: cars. A google search specifically for tan walled car tyres throws up only bicycle ones.

    I presume yous are taking the piss? There is no gap in the market. Tan wall tyres would look ridiculous on that Lambo (or on almost any other car).

    out past oldbridge and newgrange today. the buses seem to be running from the visitor centre to newgrange, not sure how you're meant to practice social distancing if you're allowed in.

    We used to swim there as kids and jump off that bridge. I was out that way the other morning and was thinking it's gas how much the course of the river has changed around there in 20 years.

    Did you chance the bridge at the visitor center on the way back or did you head down towards the farm and on to slane?

    EDIT: Is that a 1L bottle you have on the bike?

    i went on to slane. i had just over three hours spare so knew i had to eat up some more miles than taking a more direct route back would use up.

    as i had expected, i bailed off the N2 after about 5km, it's one of the least enjoyable roads i know to be on a bike on.

    Yeah I don't even like crossing the N2 it can be sketchy later in the day, but there is some nice cycling either side of it.

    do they have an agreement to allow this use?
    i would have thought that whoever started using the merlin name first would have serious reservations about another company being allowed use it.

    Lovely shot but it would be even better without the Xiaomi watermark! As a Xiaomi owner myself (Redmi 9 Pro), I'd advise switching it off:
    Camera -> Settings -> Watermark = Off

    Even though the Portrane to Donabate coastal path is closed at present, there's still a rough stone path just inside the grounds of the hospital that bypasses the closed section and rejoins the main path a bit before this spot.

    Cycled Grand Canal and Barrow Way to Hook Head (via Kildare and Carlow, New Ross) and Kilmore Quay, then Wexford. Took train back to Dublin.

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/nMNt1uFMFLnReDV97

    Slept in B&Bs, travelled very lightly packed, without a tent, etc. I must say that cycling along the Grand Canal and Barrow Way is more interesting than the Royal Canal, but also more difficult, slower and longer, I took the road couple times not to waste time. Overall, a beautiful five-day trip, I recommend it to everyone :)

    Excellent pics I recognise most of those places but never seen the B&B in the trees it must be on the grand canal, I've never ridden that one.
