Re:
It seems that I've already had a visit from the Audax branch of MIB and plans are afoot to enter The Wild Atlantic Way, which is the latest offering from Audax Ireland and is pencilled in for 2016.
Thanks for following the thread and your messages of support, it's been nice to read them during idle moments on the ride.
The legs don't feel too bad and I can negotiate both up and down stairs without looking like I've just shat my pants.
More later, as I'm off to the airport after an epic journey yesterday afternoon/night through the heart of Paris and London by bike, for extra value from my tourist dollar.
