Five countries in five days is the next big cycling trip. cycling to Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We will finish back at Specialized Ireland for the good coffee.

No excuses. The bike comes first.
U need to get fit sound's like ur only firing on two cylinder's! See u on the toure de kilkenny 160k😊.
Sounds like a great get away. hope everything goes according to plan. ride safe 👍
Good luck on your trip. Check local bike shops because Strava won't tell you about new road construction, etc. I’ve been thinking about doing something similar so please show us what you carry. Sending some warm weather your way. 😊
Keep up the great work. Really enjoy the Sunday video 👍
Brilliant stuff, good to see you back on the bike. I live on Anglesey, would love the opportunity to ride with you guys down to Bangor from the ferry.
Keep spinning the wheels , nice one 👍
Good luck, I'm based just outside of Preston and they're is some great climbs round here. The trough of Bowland is my favourite
Only counting 4 countries there myself… 🤔
200 for the 4 hotels!…maybe throw a few cans of bed bug spray in the bag…sounds like a great trip
Nice to see you back out on the bike and off course stopping off for the coffee 😅
