Dublin 2 Dingle

Today, a supporter of our endeavours, Austin Benson, demonstrated just how enthusiastic he is that we should be successful when it comes to the nitty gritty in July. So what did he do?
Did he cycle a virtual version of our route on an exercise bike to raise sponsorship?
Did he have his head shaved with the BBC present to record the event?
Or did he walk down the M1 to Belfast wearing nothing but a lycra jumpsuit with the D2D emblem emblazoned on the back?

Well? Which one?

Actually, none of the above although all three have been suggested and may materialise at a later date.

Instead Austin has spent the last few days inputting the route detail of our entire cycle into a website called Mapmyride. Contrary to what you are thinking, this does not list your sexual conquests on a Mercator Projection world map. No, it maps the detail of a specific cycle journey including waypoints (via points), elevation, distance and route profiles. These can be stored on your iPhone and will we be very useful when we get lost and can't find a convenient hostelry in rural Tipperary. Austin had considered joining us on our travails but was forced out by the recurrence of an old injury - sense.
