RTT08 Update.

Wot we dun yesterday.

First a carpe record was created when the first cake stop was 4 miles from the start of the rideout.

Then onto the Ring of Kerry which was great for the first half from Killorglin down to Waterville with fast roads and nice bendy bits. After lunch the rain started and continued torrentially for the rest of the rideout. This, combined with probably the worst surfaces on roads I have seen in Ireland, made the progress slow and not much fun - there was a lot of back wheels going walkabout and there were only glimpses of the scenary for which this road is famous through the rain and mist. From Sneem some went the faster sweeping road to Moll's Gap and then down to Kenmare (this road can become an addiction) while the rest took the scenic southern route. The thought of wonderful chocolate cake in Kenmare made the weather bearable. When we got there the cafe was closed so we ripped home the quick way.

The night in Ned's was a riot with the highlight possibly being Bondy dancing and singing (?) on his chair. A lot of pics were taken. Some of them might even be suitable for posting. Then there was some 'afters' in the hostel. Guinness shares should be up today anyway.

Today is a rest day - and some will need it after last night.

If even half the pics that have been taken this week are uploaded then Photobucket will crash.
