Blackie and Myself went for a cycle out to Dun Laoghaire and back yesterday. What a day for a cycle. Were you out there? Jesus, it was like somewhere off foreign. Anywho, it’s about 15km each way. Again a nice distance and not too physically demanding.

We were going to head to Killiney Hill and check out the view, but we got lazy after a latte and couldn’t be arsed. Next time for sure. Although I think next good day will be out to Portmarnock for a swim.

Dun Laoghaire port is nice. The place was jammed with people, and traffic was bumper to bumper which make tearing through on bikes even more enjoyable.

After that we headed to the Ivy Gardens for Africa Day, which was also full of people out to enjoy the culture and infrequent sunny Irish day.

Paddy Casey played, and myself and the missus left before Republic of Loose came on.

Once more I have been amazed at how Ireland can be a great  place to be, when the conditions are right. Being away travelling last year has given me a renewed love for my own country. Click.
