This was the first real ride which I did in 2023, which I thought was successful. However I did get lost just as i came out of balbriggan . When in balbriggan i had something to eat , all I wanted was a meal , not a wedding meal. They gave me tone too much. No wonder there are fat people . I went along by coast along by Clontarf and then on the new cycle lanes near Portmarnock which was great . I went to D/gheda as the wind was coming from the south and it was a bit strong . Then I got the train back to Dublin and the wind was very strong there. I went by the Pub where the Work Associates and myself had a jar after one of our international golf Tournaments , however this place is now derelict , just beside Gormanstown Camp. I also went be Mosney where I was on holliers in the sixties. Just it annoyed me that i got lost just outside Balbriggan , but apart from that i was lucky with the weather as there seems to be the gales and wind of a storm on its way . So 80KM + per week and i am OK. I am also trying to get a bit more fit as I have entered for the 100KM one from Bray , so hopefully I will be able to do that with not much trouble.
