A lovely cycle . But it was thro undulating mountains . The hills seemed to be going up most of the time . I took a short cut by coming back to the train station at Newry by means of the canal but I only shortened my ride by about 2 KM . Not miles. I made that error before. It was a lovely cycle and mostly quiet and lonely . But the cars were going much faster than the Southren Cars and I thought more dangerously . I got on one road which ended up as a boreen full of muck but then it rose again and became a bit better . Around 1PM I was getting hungry and at last got some grub in Poyntzpass , very little may I say , but at least it stopped the stomach rumbling . All in a all a great cycle . One thing I did notice is that I wont be doing that cycle untill the evenings get longer again and that will be next year as the hour is decreasing in daylight next weekend. So the cycling will be around Dublin . Still in 9 weeks the days will be getting longer.
