Hopefully going to Ireland for a long weekend in early August to see some family and drink some whiskey... But I'll be doing a cheapo Ryanair and car hire thing. I'd never get enough time off work to take the bike, it would probably take me a week to get there and a week to get back... The people are great, the countryside is stunning, but the others are spot on, the roads are crap. We have potholes and overbanding, they have craters and loose surfaces... Having said that though, the coast road from Larne to Portrush (a handy route to the NW200) is fantastic... [attachment=:name]
