It was great to get back on the road this weekend after cycles being canceled in recent weeks due to the inclement weather. Saturday saw Brian Atkinson lead a good group east for Youghal returning via Tallow and Fermoy. Sunday saw a huge group depart the village and roll leisurely to Glanmire, and on to Douglas via the city. The pace ramped up on the fast road to Passage West, before getting the ferry at Glenbrook. Once back on dry land at Carrigaloe, it was pedal to the metal as far as Cobh Cross, where there was a well deserved cup of coffee. The caffeine powered the group through Carrigtwohill, Leamlara and back to the village with 60km completed.
