Day 7 and we set off from Strandhill Beach feeling fresh legged and ready for a good day's cycle. Alas, 4.7 miles down the road Rhys' pedal started to play up again but this time, it was stuck in a static position rather than turning round as it should. Nightmare! We took it apart and when ball bearings started dropping out of it we decided that we needed to log an emergency call with Colin Bromley who told us that it was game over! Luckily, only 10 mins down the road in Sligo, Gary's cycle shop saved the day and fitted Rhys out with a brand new set of pedals and off we went.
We had the most amazing morning cycle along the Wild Atlantic Way with stunning views of the coast on our left and towering rock formations on our right (albeit a very windy route!). We then had lunch in a charming little village called Ballyshannon where we met up with Joe and Ross before making our way onto Derry. Derry was also lovely and we explored by walking the walls of the city. Ross cooked us a delicious lasagne (tanks a million Ross!) in the evening before having an over excited Easter egg hunt!
