Yes, the Corrib. It's still a lake mossym!
@Ryath, I always go towards Headford and come back in by Oughterard as the Headford road is a disaster. I prefer to be on that road early when there's little to no traffic.
Bring a flask CW and drink on the go :pac:0 -
Still enjoyable day out was in good humour after the brother's savage effort even if I did nearly miss it as he was nearly 10mins faster than he predicted:). Will go back lovely part of the country to cycle in just need to figure out some of the hillier routes that avoid the N59
You should try the coast road from Salthill out west now thats dangerous! I will allow AKW the pleasure of a good rant but if we were able to bypass the vested interests we would have a greenway all the way out the N59 to Clifden - however I don't expect to see it in my lifetime even with all the recent good news announcements coming out.
I was wondering how you seemed to know Zicos time before anyone else
the only real cycle of a lake is lough derg. you galway lads can call it whatever you want, but unless you're going around the proper lake it means nothing
(funny however that the distance around the proper lake is the same as your puddle...)
edited cause my geography is just pure awful
I would have to agree with you Mossy, the villages and towns one must go through around Lough Derg practically roll off the tongue - I cant believe I have never heard of it

Not a fan of driving in Galway at all two of my closest calls have been roundabouts up there. I'm sure a lot of the bad driving is the tourists and not the locals though:P
I'd generally avoid N roads when I'm by myself unless there is a good hard shoulder. In most part of the country there are alternative back roads but with geography the around Connemara it's hard to avoid them.
A greenway from Galway would be class, went to Achill last summer on the Mayo greenway. A Galway one would probably be even more popular.
From Tipp myself so don't normally think of them as strange but when you put them in a list like that!I would have to agree with you Mossy, the villages and towns one must go through around Lough Derg practically roll off the tongue - I cant believe I have never heard of it0 -

It's happening and it will in my lifetime so you are safe enough
So its settled?
Early doors next Sunday spin around Lough Corrib, Ireland's second largest lake. (no, Mossy Nr 1 is not Lough Derg)0 -

You cycling down? Call in til I see what I can tempt you with
I might on way back - you in Limerick or Oranmore?
PS Did you hear anything about Galway city to Moycullen cycle lane, first I hear of it but it would be great if its coming in - check this out Ryath, just Moycullen to Oughterard now

I seriously doubt CW cycled down and is going to cycle back today. I may be wrong but.........:pac:
Sorry I didn't call in Sean, I was trying to keep my speed up over 35kph till I got to UL. Some bad stretches on the road in the hard shoulder from the little I noticed
Friday: A dip and then quick shave before heading to Limerick for the day. 1000m
Saturday: A solid run in great weather - I enjoyed this one, heart rate nice and steady and pace very consistent at 5.00 the whole way through. Legs weren't giving out for a change once I went over 15k. 20k @ 5.01 pace - AHR 146
Sunday: 77k of staring at the DHB logo on Pgibbos arse. 3 x 30 minutes sets of his IM pace and the rest easy which didn't sound so bad if his Ironman pace wasn't my Olympic pace
Besides my arse and balls killing me - the first 2 actually weren't too bad as long as I didn't lose his wheel and the 3rd the last 5 minutes turned into Hell on Earth but I am convinced he pushed it a little once we hit the drag on the N17 turn. Decided with only 5 minutes left to tough it out but the legs were gone and I wouldnt have been able to do a 4th one.
Home and hosed by 10.30 - I then offered to bring the wife and kids for coffee but instead I was plonked with the two of them for the day while she went shopping. Perhaps I didnt eat enough when I got in but I was like a corpse all day until after I got the Sunday Roast into me that evening.
Watched the new Thor movie last night then - I didn't like the first one and this one was no better0 -

So the pool you swim in is 18 meters, correct? But is it really 18 meters, or is it actually 20 yards??
Its billed as 18ms on their website anyways. The only time I ever hear yards over here Dory is when listening to American golf commentators. We are still clinging on to miles and stone out in the country areas but yards is more or less gone at this stage.
Speaking of which the language of triathletes is kms - perhaps as your A race is a triathlon this year you should stop me having to divide x 5 and multiply x 8 every time I see mph on your log. 0 -
