Aye, the tracker finally broke with me having completed my Irish end to end ... Finished in time for breakfast.
As noted, rode quite a bit with Paul851 OTP following his off'n'stitches, before discretion proved the better part of valour and I saw him with bus ticket in hand.
2100 slightly lumpy km. Yes, it's hard (Scenic? Ireland? Who'd 'a thought it?), especially combined with weather - it got a little damp at times, and not every headwind was rewarded with an equal and opposite tailwind.
The route is great, and would make a fantastically rewarding photographic and scenic tour over what, about six weeks?
Organisation - really well thought through for the suggested speedy(ish) 300km/day timetable, and Eamon did a sterling job keeping it going while also running International Rescue - I wasn't the only person to have him turn up with a complete spare bike (Forks. Pah!).
I hurt surprisingly little, though no doubt that will come, but I'm probably too tired to be going to a birthday party on Galway tonight.
Anyway, time limits? We sneer at 'em - s'only a bike ride, innit. And while I can't pretend to have enjoyed *every* minute of it, the Men in Black have very little work to do.
