I was sure I had this cycle on the H/H so I checked and I had done it last year ,and that I was capable of looking it up so I could just repeat it . I did that and it seemed to work OK. So on the Wednesday I just put it into the H/H and it would not for some reason come up . Eventually I discovered that I was dialling in Portarlington rather than P/Laoise . then the H/H was going the other way so I wanted to reverse it . That meant I had to re-start it yet again . In the meantime I had done 2 or 3 mini-cycles thinking that they were on the thack . Anyhow i eventually got it working and in the right way . Also the weather was very rainey in Dublin as I started but when Iarrived in P/Laoise the sun was shining . But it was raining slightly and i had to shelter for about 2 minutes at the end of the day . I was delighted with the 90KMs I did , nearly the tonne if you take the going and coming back to and from Heuston . Also the train was meant to be there at 8.40AM but another appeared at about 10 past 9 , and it went there directly with no stops so it was great . As I said I did that journey before as I recognised Portlaoise and the castle on the way and also a few bits and pieces on the way . Apart from that disaster at the start of the journey it was a lovely cycle . But tiring .
