Trout stream by the B&B is swollen with the overnight rain
But the weather is looking good.
Sadly on my own today as Brendan is not fit to ride. So cracked on with a fast day.
Plenty of floating sections with just 2 gentle climbs. Downhill section of the first climb at around 60miles Was amazing, really fast and dry roads. Glad that we decided to go clockwise around Ireland as the downhill sections are often steeper than the uphill. Sunny intervals all day with just some misty rain around at Mallin Head. Got to Derry dry. The first dry day since day 1.
The scenery is as ever beautiful in Ireland and today I could enjoy it.
And we do actually get down to the seaside. Didn't swim.
After a mixup with B&Bs we check into the Ramada for a bit of relative luxury.
5pm now so off to find some Guiness.
Easy to find the Guiness but harder to find non-chain reasonably priced food. A woman passing heard us moaning and directed us to The Bentley Steak House.
Absolutely perfect. About the best meal we have had all trip.
Brendan and I even found a grooming stop:
