Another wet day but still managed to get 28 miles in. Legs felt strongest today since hte Ring of Kerry spin and some life seems to be coming back into them. Went in the direction fo Farranfore, Ballyfinnane and home with a strong breeze at my back from Castlemaine.

Day 10 today was the Currow CC Annual leisure tour and 63 miles of cycling in glorious weather for a change. I was reminded about the song “I could have danced all night” because I sure felt that I could have cycled all day today. The spin today left Currow, headed for Tralee, Castlemaine, Milltown, Killorglin, Killarney and back to Currow via Farranfore. The pace was mostly controlled which is only right for a leisure cycle but I did get an opportunity to stretch my legs ascending the Tralee side of the hill to Castlemaine as well as the way home from Killarney which was lively enough for anyone’s level. Legs felt good and appreciated the last number of days when I took it easy.
1/3 third of the way into the challenge and I have found great benefit to having cycled the last 10 days in a row. I do feel stronger than when I started. I think the key so far was knowing when to take an easy day when I needed it. I will be intereted to see if I find the next 20 days as straightforward.

30 Days and 30 Cycles: Day 7
Today was a club spin and legs were tired but cycling in the group made it a little easier. We ended up doing 35 Miles (56 k). We left Tralee and headed for Castleisland, Farranfore, Castlemaine and back to Tralee. The pace was pretty high with the spin completed in 1 hour and 45 mins. I got a twinge of a cramp in my right thigh ascending the last climb after Castlemaine so sat up a little until I got home.
Route was as follows….
