Sanna Phinney commented on Day 7: Kenmare to Portmagee

We think what they mean by ‘experienced cyclists’ is cyclists who are comfortable and used to riding with traffic. A newbie who wobbles all over on a bike would probably have trouble on the narrow road with cars passing. Traffic was minimal for us, but come tourist season I could imagine a steady line of cars, motor homes, etc.

We loved Dingle (apart from the crowds) with all the brightly coloured buildings.

I was only thinking last night that you hadn't put any photos of your dinners (unless I missed them)

We sat right here on these same 2 chairs! Had the coffee but not the brownies. Sorry now that we missed out!

Now that you've ridden it, how would you interpret the penny farthing sign re "experienced cyclists"?

Intersections are the scariest, alright. Its really hard to train yourself to look to the right first.

He sang ‘How Great thou Art’. Now that we’ve been here, I want to encourage everyone to give it a go. It’s truly beautiful. The people are so warm and friendly. Hope you get to experience it someday.

This country is so beautiful. The people are so open, warm and friendly. I hope you can make the trip here someday because it’s a real gem.

Chuck’s been doing great. I am still boggled at a 4-way intersection. It just doesn’t look right to me.

Tall for this island. You can’t compare to our mountains at home. We’re riding over Connor’s Pass tomorrow.

We just arrived in Plymouth after three months in Spain and are going through the same left-shift adjustment. It’s the same with us - I start the day with a reminder, which I promptly forget myself. It takes about two days until we’re reliably reprogrammed.

Amazing how diverse the buglosses are. I’ve never seen one like this either.
