Now that my back is healing up (I owe an update on that) and bicycling is particularly recommended as a low-impact exercise, I’m dreaming of Ireland (again). Not sure why I have such a strong urge to visit that place (well, yes, I do: weather, accent, creativity, literature, the color green).
A family over there south of Dublin has invited me out to stay a few days, and there’s a challenging self-guided bike route I’m eying around the Ring of Kerry (on the opposite side of the country from Dublin). Seems like a great goal for 2020. But do I go when it’s 45 degrees and rainy in the spring? Or when it’s 50 degrees and rainy in the summer? Hmm…
