Day 9 310m climb


Day 9 started out from Bantry (N51 40.89 W009 27.341). Stayed not so great hostel-cheap-basic-ice cold showers.Left at 7am. Feeling sick today1, stomach upset for the first 3hrs,making the cycling really hard work.had to stop every 20 mins just to let stomach cramps ease.3 big climbs today.1st one in pic was at 310m,then two more at over 200m.The final was a place called dunloe gap,near,to Kilarney. Very spectacular views.Weather overcast but pretty good cycling weather.Cycle speedo reads 439.62 (53 miles today).Was tired so stopped just outside of Kilarney at a super 'an oige'(irish youth hostel).30sec after i stopped the rain came pouring down! It was so great to be dry and inside when it rained!
