<\/a><\/span>

<\/span>B<\/span>eautiful day here in Ireland, with an average temperature of 70 degrees!! Would have been an epic day for the Eagle<\/b><\/a>, but being part of it on the bent made for a ride that will also be hard to forget.
<\/span>

<\/span><\/span>The sheep you see here was taking a snooze at this lake. I awakened him when I stopped to take this photo.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>

<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Since few of the roads are signed over here, I had to guess at this fork in the road.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
A few miles later, another guess.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

Soon,  a whole new world opened up  for me  <\/span>full of one lane roads a<\/span>nd tree <\/span>
canopied asphalt<\/span> like <\/span>like you see above. All within the space of 25 miles…<\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
This picnic table was at another lake near the end of of this paradise..<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

W<\/span>hen the sun endeavors to shine in Ireland, <\/span>
which is a small percentage of the time,<\/span><\/span> <\/span>
it looks down upon some of the best biking turf <\/span>
anywhere to be found in the world!<\/span><\/div>\n
