Spring is my favourite colour

Saturday bike ride to Rathdrum and back, the purpose being to suss out a possible route for a kid's camp later in the year. About 50 miles round trip and I got cramp several times. Argh! I must be out of condition.

Looking west from Wicklow Gap - it's mist not the sea!

The beautiful Avonmore River

My Sunday run (just 5 miles) somewhat affected by yesterday's bike ride. So many flowers are yellow at this time of the year!

Celandines

My favourite

Gorse

My lake

Dunno what these are but they're cute

Specially when out of focus

Dandelions

Forsythia?

Club Orange at Ballinabarny Gap

Bike ride today: Wicklow Gap, Rathdrum, Aughrim, followed the River Ow, lunch stop at Ballinabarny Gap, Knockanarrigan, N81, Piper Stones, home. Total 61.4 miles, max 38.8mph, avg 11.1mph, knees hurting towards end. Consumed one can Club orange (as good as Jusoda was, and so much better than Fanta), one cheese sandwich, half a 200g bar of CDM. And a bit of water.
