Garry McGivern’s bicycle tour of Ireland, Tuesday 16th-July-2019 Carrigtohill to Killarney. 63 miles. Well, I suppose it had to happen at some point. After all, I am in Ireland, rain! Although I can’t complain, it was only for about an hour this morning, and it is the first time I’ve seen rain, unlike my last time here. Then I saw nothing but rain.
I’d got up at five-thirty and had just had my usual breakfast of noodles when the rain started, so rather than pack away in the rain. I decided to wait it out. The forecast said it would stop around eight o’clock, which was fine with me. It gave me time to send Brooks saddles a shitty email.
The rain soon stopped, and I debated whether or not to wait for the tent to dry. But with no sign of the sun coming out, I decided to pack the tent away wet. And I was still on the road by eight o’clock. The tent soon dried out tonight with the stiff breeze that was blowing.
I wasn’t feeling particularly good around midday today. I think it was that scone I had yesterday!! But after ignoring it and pushing on, I felt a lot better, and tonight I feel fine.
I’ve also made a YouTube video of today’s ride, which you can watch on my YouTube channel.

By Killarney’s lakes and fells” 63 Miles! that’s my three day quota. Those castles spoil the landscape. Good meal suggestion. Have you tried the family pubs? Brooks will send out a special courier to fix your saddle. He! he!
Not been to any pubs yet, there’s not one been nearby when I’ve stopped.
I wish Brooks would, they can’t even reply to me!
