Bicycle Touring Ireland: Ennis to Salthill
Life after sepsis and back to bicycle touring, my latest update: cycling in Ireland, Ennis to Salthill. 46 Miles. Another wet day, and by lunchtime I’d had enough and found a campsite.
After looking out the window this morning, seeing the rain lashing down, I did try to stay at the hotel for another night. But they were fully booked, partly because of a music festival going on in the town, plus they also had a wedding going on in the hotel today. Dam inconsiderate if you ask me!

I had a good night in the pub that’s attached to the hotel last night, with plenty of the black stuff consumed!

As part of the music festival, there was an Irish band playing in the bar. Which, along with the Guinness, made for a lively evening! Hopefully, the weather will be better tomorrow!

Shame about the rain but 46 miles is not to be sniffed at and you’re a free man out on the road. Guiness is good for you.
It’s Ireland, rain is to be expected! Any beer is good for you, maybe not physically but definitely good for the mind!
