Another fine start to today's ride saw the radlers spin down to Glengarriff for a coffee stop before the first ascent of the day.

Up and over the long climb to Kenmare gave us a speedy descent down to Tom Crean's restaurant for lunch provided courtesy of Aileen (the grand daughter of the legend Tom Crean). That's two pubs in Ireland with Tom Crean association that have provided sustenance to the riders in two cross country rides. Thanks again Aileen and Morgan for a fantastic lunch and we will be back to see you soon.

Leaving Kenmare, we cycled via Moll's Gap and the Avoca shop where Alyson maxed out Will's Amex. This gave us a long downhill run of about 25km where Stuart got cramp in his fingers from squeezing his brake levers, which makes a change from his usual cramps. To be fair, it was a hairy descent with a few switchbacks where it would have been easy to head on a bus load of American tourists if we hadn't been careful.

Tomorrow is a long haul to Ennis via the Tarbert ferry so tonight will be a quiet one - aye right!
