Time to prepare with the loaded bike. On Saturday cycled through Limerick and on to Lahinch. Left at 8.30 am. Detoured to the new Limerick Tunnell on the way. Didnt find the panniers too much of a load (20 lbs approx). But faced a headwind all the way. Lovely sunshine all the way.
Arrived at the Prom in Lahinch at 3.30 feeling fresh. Met up with a few lively lads there and had a most sociable evening.

A successful 2 days back to back with no ill effects.
