4 Day Coast to Coast Cycle Dublin to Newport Mayo

This was a planned cycle by the Royal Canal and backroads to Mayo. Here are the links for each day’s cycle.

Day 1: Dublin Mullingar

Day2: Mullingar Strokestown

Day3: Strokestown Charlestown

Day4: Charlestown Newport

The trip was completed by Sinead McDermott, Alastair McDermott, Paul Morton, Bruce Ryan, Mike McCarthy, Mike Millar, Joe McDermott. Back up was by Pauline McDermott and Cepta Morton. Day 1 and 2 were bright and sunny overall. Day 3 was brutal, cycling into a hurricane, branches littering the road sides, driving rainshowers. Day 4 and the wind eased somewhat and it was dry. Personally I felt very good considering I had just had my appendix removed!!
