Wicklow Challenge

Yesterday myself and Emily took part in the Wicklow Challenge. It's a 100k cycle around the Wicklow mountains. It was fantastic! We started at UCD Sports Centre at 7am and it took around 6 hours. The route was very cleverly marked. At every junction there was a white W painted on the road and arrow indicating where to go. Even with my terrible sense of direction we didn't get lost once. The weather was fantastic too, the hottest day of the year. Unfortunately this means that I have lots of novelty sunburn from the day, around cycling shorts, t-shirt, helmet, wraparound sunglasses and fingerless gloves. Pretty embarrassing. I got 2 flats in the last hour too which was really annoying, but otherwise it was a perfect day.
