This morning I decided to cycle into Houston station from Naas. All my usually lift opportunities were either asleep of otherwise cocooning.
The weather was fine and bodes well for the coming week.
I have been looking forward to this 8 days since we finished in Dublin last year.
The road was remarkably quiet because of the coronavirus (that's not virtual!)
Im so looking forward to seeing all my buddies from CAS. Im not sure who will turn up so that's another part of the adventure.
Hope everyone on the trip has.....
well I finally got to Heuston station . there was a large crowd of well wishers gathered there to send us off. Joe Dixon was there with Micheline and they were getting some great shots in and around the station.
We ll had designated place es on the train. Bikes were stowed in individual carriers. Social distancing at on foot apart and secure from the rocking rolling of the train as it hurtled towards Galway. The dining car was open for business and all food was free. Anything you wanted. Christy was picking up the tab. Daniel O Donnell was going up and down the carriages singing rock and roll songs and a bit of blues. He was only doing requests.
I ordered a couple of pints of Guinness from a Guinness trolly which was delivering to your table.
we had full WIFI and big screens which were playing movies and spinoff videos.
Arriving in Galway we were all booked into the Great Southern Hotel. James Vahey was paying for that I heard! While Steven Rafferty was sorting the dinner for everyone. There was an argument with him and Titch. Titch wanted to pay! (is Titch from Cavan?)
Great night was had anyway after and we all headed off for an early night. Ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Galway to Castlebar via Tuam
Hope everyone has signed up and donated €8 for Cycle Against Suicide its gonna be a great week.
Its virtual sunshine all the way!
