Today’s ride on Komoot This was a very full day. I visited significant family places and rode up (and down) one of the most stunning mountain passes I’ve ever seen. It started as I left the B&B on the edge of town. Gina, the host is a bit of an historian and was interested in …
Today’s ride on Komoot Timing was everything today. I had a short ride, but knew that rain was arriving just after lunch time but then I couldn’t check in until 6pm at the Airbnb. In the end, my timing was perfect all ’round. I had the luxury of a sleep in at the nice pub …
Just to recap, I have the 2021 Koga World Traveller with Rohloff and Gates Belt. I’ve changed the handlebars and put on my trusty Brooks saddle but that’s about all that I’ve modified. I’ve published earlier reviews here on this site. TLDR: It’s a great bike. Both fun and dependable. Really well thought out and …
Today’s ride on Komoot I went to Tesco last night and stocked up on breakfast things, so I was looking forward to that. Not a great sleep last night, so I was my usual slow self in the morning. I feel like I’m getting lots of things done in the morning until I look at …
Today’s ride on Komoot It was cool and foggy this morning, so no hurrying from me. The fog meant that it was going to be a nice day but initially, everything was wet. I was near the Cliffs of Moher and looking forward to the 77kms to Limerick. I headed into town, took some photos …

Today’s ride on Komoot If you assume that having two days in one entry means that not much happened, you’d be right. I followed the Royal Canal Greenway and not much happened. It was overcast and cool as I left the hostel in Dublin. Dublin is nice. I like the history and stories but I …
Today’s ride on Komoot Outside my window was the old train station and the platform was scattered with enthusiasts waiting for the train to arrive. It duly arrived and cameras and tripods came out. I admit it looked impressive for a bit of a toy train. I packed and left the hotel and took some …
Today’s ride on Komoot It was a rainy evening and morning, so I delayed checking out as long as possible. The rain was due to clear as the day wore on, and as I left the hotel, it had stopped. Just to make sure, I went to one of the coffee shops on the main …
Today’s ride on Komoot Another big day of climbing through fantastic Welsh mountains and winding through beautiful valleys. I had breakfast with Graham and Neil again. They’re having a full day of fishing followed by a five hour drive back to Glasgow. They’ll be as tired as me. I had my usual lazy morning – …
