Our itinerary is two nights each in Dungarvan (where we are now), Waterford, Wexford, Bunclody, Glendalough and Dublin. On the second day in each town we have one or more loop rides. But these are optional. So today, after yesterday’s long and wet ride there is less enthusiasm for another ride. Especially because it’s cloudy and cold (42 degrees). The Hoyt’s and Coose’s started out on one of the loop rides but the rest of us spent some time this morning cleaning and lubricating our bikes. Maybe some will do a shorter ride this afternoon.

Although former professional bike racer Sean Kelly was born in Waterford, Dungarvan claims him and honors him with a cycle trail.
Dungarvan is a seaside resort town; we don’t know it’s population but I’d guess at least 20,000. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it but we’re basically tracing the seashore from Cork to Dublin. I’m pretty sure that all towns except for Glendalough are on the coast of the Irish Sea. Glendalough is in the Wicklow Mountains.
Numbering on Irish license plates is more organized than in most of the world. The first digits are the model year, the second is the county and then a sequential number. So this 2001 Passat is from Cork County. For 2013 models, no one wanted a license beginning with unlucky 13. So those in the first half of the year begin in 131 and those in the second half will begin with 132.
