A quick stop at Ballynahinch Castle, the estate of Richard Martin aka "Humanity Dick", the founder of the SPCA.
A ride through country that reminded me repeatedly of Colorado and Montana.
Lunch and a visit to the gardens of Kylemore Abby.
A moment to remember the many who died in the great famine of 1849.
A climb to the saddle of Mt. Patrick, a holy mountain that is a regular pilgrimage for many Irish.
A monument to remember the "Casket Ships" that took many Irish to America during the great famine.
And for our final day, a 40 km ride on a rail trail north of Westport.
A great trip. We figured a total of ~ 350 miles over 9 days. And only one short period of a few hours that we needed rain gear.
In a few days, one last blog from Dublin.
