Yesterday was the toughest day, cycling for 8 hours, raining all through it. * Miserable.
Stopped in Roscrea, people were lovely, feding everybody extra portions and giving out about Bush.
Got lost after Barna, cycled down a one-way lane to a deserted farmhouse, the first navigation mistake so far.
Back to Brana, found Cloughjordan and had a break there.
Got to hostel around 7.30, at Drumaneer, outside Nenagh, by Lough Derg.
Had a lovely breakfast and left this morning around 10.30.
Interviewed on Tiperrary FM and Newstalk.
On the way to Birdhill for lunch, weather's a bit windy but not as bad as yesterday. First puncture this morning around 11.30.
Staying somewhere around Annacotty tonight.

* about five or six days of rain in one day, if I'm reading the Met Eireann site right.
