Connemara, Ireland by the Wild Atlantic Way. One Day Cycle Trips in Ireland-Local Loops!
Connemara Loop Map Cycle touring fully loaded and laden down with gear has it’s time and place… heading off with bike, tent and sandwiches in tow, for a light leisurely jaunt should have it’s place too! The West Coast of Ireland is a great destination for… Read More

Here we go again!
It’s been way too long since I last posted to the blog and equally as long since I took the bike for a long trip. A combination of laziness, a really wet Irish winter/spring and wonky knees has restricted my time on the bike . Hopefully within the next few weeks I’ll get a chance to get pedalling again.
In the mean time I hope to repair a crooked vintage New Hudson bike, complete with an old Wrights leather saddle, I bought in a junk yard in Cork city. Additionally I’d like to share some recipes myself and Laura enjoyed/endured during our cycle tour of Mongolia, Russia and Europe. It wasn’t always noodles and snickers! And maybe I can also show you how to look out for free food while out on your bike.
So now that I’ve said it, I have to go and do it!
