Srarted off from Kildare where I had the reg cuppa and then on the ride . Within a few minutes I was on the small country roads . I went through Monasterevin where I was a few weeks ago and then on to Portlaoise where I had my dinner . It was a lovely ride mostly on country roads , thro bogs and very little traffic . A really lovely ride . The views were fantastic and the plants weeds or crops are coming on like wildfire . I suppose the farmers wouldnt mind a bit of rain and it it still a bit cold but the sun is shining . I origionally was going to go as far as B/brophy but if I did that , I would be there miles too early and the one and only train was not till nearly 7PM , so I decided to go half there and back to P/laoise. So a great cycle and I was on a good lot of it before but a lot of the trail I went on was new.
