Road biking 1:39:00 [3]
slept:4.0 shoes: Specialised
My appettie was gone and i knew i should have being eating the sandwich and apple i had in my pocket but i just couldn't. I did manage to drink a coffee at a petrol station but it had little effect.
Also my bike is crap! When i start working soon i'm going to buy a nice workhorse with my 1000euro bike allowance from the government, and then buy a 30euro piece of crap bike to ride to work :)
So the plan was to cycle with Chris down to Blessington, up the Wicklow gap, down to Laragh and back to Dublin. 65-70km. But with the lack of sleep and amount of partying from last night my legs gave out at Blessington. I'd like to congratulate the bus driver with my middle finger (no i didn't give it but he deserves something mean for being mean) for not giving a guy a break and bending the rules to let me bring my bike on the bus.

Road biking 2:00:00 [4]
shoes: Specialised
2 hours ish of biking. About 30mins of that was with Lance Armstrong and a few other bikers.
There were at least two crashes (one of the crashes involved an orienteer). There were alot of experienced bikers who shot up through risky gaps, and there were normies like me who have no clue how to ride in a peloton and would likely cause a crash. Those two groups were a recipe for disaster and i'm surprised there weren't more crashes because everyone was killing it to get up the front and stay there. Good fun though at intensity '3', then i rode steady up to Donabate at '4' where i visited a friend, stopped riding and got a lift home afterwards.
