Weekend Break in Youghal!

I arrived in Youghal yesterday evening for the weekend, so I had limited internet access. It was my first time carrying a bike on a car rack over a long distance, so I was a bit nervous.. but the bike was still on the car when we got to Youghal! :)
I went for a cycle yesterday evening, out from the mobile home park, onto Clay Castle strand car park. It was very relaxing to look across to Front stand and watch and listen to the waves breaking. While stopped I took a few snaps of Cabel island and Youghal head. Several people parked up with their car windows rolled down reading a book, listening to the radio or just taking in the views.
Next I headed towards Front strand passing Aura Leisure Centre, Youghal Pitch and Putt club; there I could see the mobile home park where I was staying, in the distance.
I got close to Clancy’s bar and things didn’t feel right,I looked down and saw that the front wheel was totally flat.
It was now time to try what I had seen on a Youtube video into practice. Got repair kit off bike, took front wheel off and started by taking tyre and tube out.
I had a replacement tube on me so I checked inside of tyre for sharps and put new tube and the tyre back on the wheel.
I inflated the tyre with a mini CO2 cylinder I had, but it only inflated the tyre by about half. So I put front wheel back on bike and SLOWLY headed back to mobile park.

After the CO2 inflation I got my tyre pumped with air this morning.Headed towards Youghal town centre today, passing Perks funfare, Greyhound track and the Lighthouse, went under Clock Gate and onto Main Street. The street was extremely busy with a large amount of traffic and people heading from shop to shop.
So I made my way to the back street, where I stopped a while for a breather and took in the sights. A group of tourists were having a laugh, while enjoying a drink outside a bar. The skipper of a tour boat is also getting his boat ready for his next group.
On my way back to the mobile home I took a few more photos. I also passed the Walter Raleigh hotel where part of a wedding group was standing out front
Why not grab your bike and head down to Youghal this summer and check out an event:

ReplyDeleteEven though the new EU tyre labelling laws don't come into play until November, there are already people in the industry worried that it isn't going to work out quite as it was intended. The levels for each grade boundary were intentionally set to push the industry to reach new highs; it wasn't supposed to be possible to get an AA grade (A rated for rolling resistance and wet braking) straight away. And yet Pirelli have already released a AA graded car tyre, and several other brands have already produced prototypes and expect to have the finished products out this year or next. agstyres.co.uk
