Today we rented bikes and rode around the Dingle Peninsula. In all it was about 30 miles and 5.5 hours of bike riding. We stopped a lot though to sight-see.

The route took us near the coast for about 15 miles and we enjoyed our time at the beach. Of course, it wouldn’t be Ireland without the fog and rain. The sky did open up for a little while during the ride, but for the most part it was pretty chilly.

At times the road was perilous because there was a steep drop-off.

Along the way, we found various surprises. Enjoy the pictures.
