Sunday cycles have become a religion for me

It's a way to connect with the beautiful Irish outdoors and worship all that it offers.

Eyeries Village

Today I set off on a cycle to the village of Eyeries for the birthday party of my good friend Dee's little boy Liam.
Thankfully another sunny day so not too cold whizzing along on my bike.



 Happy Birthday Liam!

 I was cycling against the wind to Eyeries so at the times the cycle was challenging. This is what is so exciting about every cycle.

You never know the difficulty beforehand but you can always guarantee that what follows the struggle of a long hill climb is a sweet descent downhill on the other side.

What weather we are getting for this Operation Transportation!
Today I cycled around blarney..


Blarney Lake, The Muskerry Arms in Blarney Village,
 Riverview to the Castle 

The Famous Blarney Woollen Mills where you can stuff your panniers with crafts, fine deli foods, homeware, crystal and fancy clothes that aren't all knits!

 Blarney house and Castle

 I was faced with a big hill, where I cheated and walked up, but other than that, it was great to start the day with a 10k cycle..

 

Editors footnote:

Don't sweat the hills if you're not ready for them. Take the time to enjoy the scenery walking up hill and you'll still have all the whizzing delights of the downhills..
