Wednesday July 19th - Dublin, Swords, Malahide, Howth, Dublin - 47 Miles
A glorious Summers evening for what could well be my last cycle outing here in Ireland.
Having been forced to come into Dublin via the Airport instead of taking the more scenic route along the coast I decided to go back and do this part again and at the same time do the Dublin City Cycle with a few people from Work.
Was a very pleasant cycle once I Was off the main roads. I was very surprised to be at the airport in 45 minutes on the bike.
Once I was in Swords I went to Malahide where the beaches were packed with holiday makers playing in the sunshine.
I then followed the coast to Howth going up and over the Howth peninsular
Then once in Dublin I went through the docks in time to see dusk over the Liffey River.
There were quite a few thousand cyclists that met up and cycled the 10km through the city streets. Plenty of upset motorists as we took over the roads for an hour. It was fun to wander through the streets and be the center of attraction :)
Tom, Tom, Pedro and Muireann all turned out to support the cyclists. Went for a drink afterwards to top off a very pleasant evenings cycle.
