Dublin 2 Dingle

The Wicklow Hills are very high and so are the Cliffs of Moher sir!

Thankfully we're not cycling over the Cliffs of Moher. Now that would be stupid but cycling over the Wicklow Hills is of course very sensible. However, if you didn't know that St. Patrick was a Gentleman you will be confused by now.

We have had a look at the route profile and days one and two are particularly challenging. I know that it's accepted by romantics that it is a joy to "wander " among the Wicklow Hills but let's not get carried away - at least not in an ambulance. The climbs are tough but the descents can be more dangerous. If we have wet tarmac we will have wet tyres and ineffective brakes. So perhaps we should take Jonty's advice and go to the pub.

Mine's an apple juice (slowly fermented in the dark) please!
