We got fuelled up with a hearty Irish breakfast before heading to landmark no. 1 - the Rock of Cashel (a nice castle on a large rock!). We then headed off on our merry way down some little Irish country lanes which were beautiful & had some great views, but very slow going as they were hilly and bumpy. Memorable moments of the day were being chased by aggressive dogs keeping guard outside every farm (not sure why they paid more attention to me than Rhys!), I fell off my bike as I'm still a novice using my cleats, and Rhys found out my secret that I can't tell me right from my left.
We then met Mr Penstone-Smith at Mitcheltown Caves and explored the huge stalagmites and stalactites before finishing off the rest of the cycling day. Ross found his favourite bumper sticker on a pimped up car saying '4 doors, more whores' and our evening saw us in Cork indulging in more yummy pub food and listing to some live music, although sadly RPS didn't crack out his Irish dance moves. Maybe tomorrow night!!
