Long day in the saddle today. Nearly three hours in total! Day didn't start out too well today - Raining. Still when you make a commitment to participate with your mate Thomas in the Family Fun Cycle from Passage West to Blackrock Castle there's no backing out. Headed out from Carrigaline in drizzle and it was as a good as it gets.
Met a friend in Passage West and headed off at half eleven for Blackrock. There was a very good turnout of cyclists especially kids who outnumbered adults two to one, shows us hope for the future!

There were some participants from last year which is always good to see! Dedicated cycle route was flat all the way to Blackrock which is just perfect for beginners. The event was very well organised with stewarding and free cycle t-shirts, bells, saddle covers, lights and high viz vests for all participants. A big thank you to the team that organised the event!
We arrived into Blackrock to be greeted by a BLT and coffee free gratis by the organizers. If all my cycling outings could only be like that!!! Very busy spot with face painting for the kids and free entry to the Observatory for all.
I Cycled back to Carrigaline via Passage West in the afternoon. A little wet but generally saved by the rain gear.
Penciling in the event again for next year although also looking forward to the Red Rebel Bike Parade later in the year.

Again thanks to the brilliant organizers for a great day out....Anita, Bernie and Darren take a bow - Thank You!
