CHARITY CYCLE: DUBLIN TO GALWAY - ON OUR LAST LEGS
Well - We did it! Today we cycled the final 26km from Athenry to Galway city, bringing us to a total of 247km from our home in Dublin to the city of the tribes, Galway, all the way over the other side of the country, in 7 days. Thankfully there was no blood but there was a lot of sweat and a respectable amount of tears, all from me. The last leg was uneventful, B roads that merged into city roads as we drew closer to our final destination. I've always loved Galway, it's clearly a world famous city with a million things going for it including music, food, festivals, pubs, culture, scenery - it's located right on the Atlantic Ocean for godssake! But it also still feels like a small country town, it's walkable, friendly, vibrant, the sea is right there (again with the Atlantic). It was the perfect place to hang up our helmets. Our only error was to cycle to Eyres Square in the centre of the city and then realize our hotel was 3km back the way we came, up a hill. Obvious...
