And back to Dublin

Then it was time for the final run to Dublin. Ireland seems pretty woeful from the point of view of nice bike-paths, at least from Rosslare to Dublin anyway. Google tried to route us on the N1 all the way, but there was a way more towards the Wicklow and Dublin mountains that we ended up taking. First day was a run up to Avoca (almost) and then the second day all the way back to Dublin.

We had our second day of rain on our way to Dublin, it felt good to be home ;). The hill in these pictures is “The Sugarloaf”. In Maori culture there’s an introduction people do, called the mihi. As a part of this you talk about your mountain, the Sugarloaf would definitely be mine, I forget the number of times we hiked up it as kids.

Anyway, finally we made it back to Dublin. All the family was there (my sister’s family was over from the US). It was lovely to complete the trip successfully. I’d happily go bike-touring again, it was lots of fun :)
