Percorso ciclabile a Oughterard, Connacht, Irlanda
July 15, 2002. We pedalled over to the Maam valley and up the valley to the pass down to lunch at Leenaun. "Famine ridges" can still be clearly seen on the grazing land sloping up the mountians marking the abandoned potato mounds on the desperately marginal area of the valley now rev…

Day 4, 31 miles from Leenaun to Westport
July 16, 2002. This was a cool but not rainy day with a modest 31 miles over hills that were not overly long. We went aroung the end of Killarny Harbour and back westward along its north side before cutting north over the Doo Lough Pass, which a cairn noted was completed in 1896 by the Congest…

Day 7, 66 miles from Clifden to Spiddal
Percorso ciclabile a Clifden, Connacht, Irlanda
July 19, 2002. It was raining quite heavily during breakfast and there was considerable gallows humour about the anticipated day. (The previous group had this weather on 5 of their 7 days.) We headed out in full rain gear and it maid the cycling barable, almost enjoyable in its novelty. At the groc…
