Ireland 2013
I am back in Ireland to start off 2013! So far, I have failed to follow up on a few requests from friends to update my blog during my trip. Luckily, Phil has been giving writing assignments to his 13-year old nephew Daniel (even though he is on holiday!). Daniel (second from left in photo below) wrote a little piece on today's adventure, and has allowed me to post it here (and no, I did not edit or add comments!):
Today we went on a twenty eight mile bike ride.The bike Philip had was a Road bike, Bradley rode a Road bike also, Nicole and I used mountain bikes. We started from our house in Ardrahan and went to Kiltulla to get a Coffee in Duans .The cycle to Kiltulla was fairly hard and I was very grumpy because I had to cycle with a really rubbish Helmet. We took Country roads which was bad because their were potholes everywhere. The scenery was boring but I guess when you live in the Country side all the time you would get fed up of it. Nicole would always be ahead of us but thats because she is a very fast and a fantastic Cyclist , Nicole is really sporty just like Phil but way STRONGER. Phil pushed me a lot to get me faster. We got to the bridge of the new motor way and we took pictures i told Phil i'm sick of wearing a Helmet , With that he picked me up and smacked my head of the steel railing with NO Helmet on and then tried it again but this time WITH a Helmet. We got to Duans and got our stuff and then went to the hardware store and got cable ties for Bradley's bike.
The way back was twice as hard because we took the back roads of Kiltulla to Grandma's and Granddad's house which was a killer. We got to the house and had Salmon and brown bread sandwiches. Phil downloaded Strava on my phone and then we were off to set the Ganty to Ardrahan Strava record. Phil and Nicole bulleted ahead so they could get home to the Cleaner to drop her off.
THE END
