    I'm getting some Donegal hills into my legs this week. This is a pic taken with my phone just outside Malin yesterday evening.

    Up til now I've been keeping most of my bike out of photo's to protect the delicate eyes of Boardsies from it's dirty hybridness, but I'll make an exception here...
    Up early in the morning, before the tour buses hit...

    @Smacl.

    Did you have the bike on a car rack around Kenmare on Saturday. I was sure that I saw a hybrid with a brooks suspension type saddle and it stuck in my mind as being out of place.

    Yup, that would have been me alright en route to a nice kayaking place with an at sea trampoline on the Beara side of Kenmare, just after the spin back from Ballagisheen. The sprung Brooks and 32c tyres are a joy where the paving just stops dead on some sections of the smaller roads, but the steed is more dray horse than thoroughbred.

    The toll cost £1.50 for a bike to cross and the cycle afterwards was beautiful and there wasn't even a hill to climb.

    On part of my spin today I took the Boyne Road out of Navan to get to the N2. A slight detour later and I saw this rail bridge. I didn't think it looked as ominous at the time :)

    Turns out the line is disused, running between Navan and Drogheda. I've often passed under or by the large rail bridge in Navan, but it hadn't occurred to me that I've never seen a train on it until today :o

    The obligatory Lough Tay photo taken yesterday.
    2011-08-09 16.06.06.jpg

    Edit, does the photo need to exist somewhere on the web, i.e. do I need a URL of it in order to have it appear in the post ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,441 ✭✭✭Slogger Jogger


    @This Regard,

    Great pic!

    Yes. Your photo needs to be uploaded to a photo site, e.g. pix.ie, flickr. That'll give you a 'sharing' address that you paste into your post, and thats what makes it appear without someone having to click into it.

    Stunning!

    Cheers Slogger and Singal_rabbit, happy with the image when I saw it on my laptop, it was actually taken from my phone. It was beautiful up there yesterday, quite isolated too, only met 2 other cyclists, one at the bottom of that climb and the other starting to climb Military Road when I was heading back to Glendalough.

    I thought that was the case re. neeed a URL for it.

    Another one for the Gap of Dunloe - the hard bit (going up, that is).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,857 ✭✭✭langdang


    Must definitely make it back down to the gap of dunloe sometime soon. great pics!

    ThisRegard - you don't need to use an image hosting site. Just copy the link to the attachment, and wrap it with link

    That's what I do, but I only put up small (display size and filesize) attachments. Putting up a big pic, with a link to the full resolution pic would be be best done through a image hosting site alright...

    Some photos on the Gironde SW France170179.jpg
    This is an actual dedicated cycle path/road
    170180.jpg
    which skirts this beach at mouth of the Estuary which is the largest in Europe.
    170181.JPG
    Further down the estuary. Thirsty work at 32C

    170182.JPG
    Most of the land is reclaimed and of course pancake flat

    170183.JPG
    but beautiful

    These Carrelets are found on the Gironde and around the Charente Maritime

    I did some via ferrata under that bridge a few years ago. The walk back across the river on the wire bridge was scary.
