This does not look good, Adrian. From my experience, nobody raises their drop handlebars. I think you might rotate the bars so the hoods are closer to your body. (What raised drop handlebars do you fancy?) There are stem raisers, for instance ones 75 mm long. If the steering tube is of a...

Am I wrong to understand your e-bike is equipped with drop handlebars?

Kozienice Wilderness Gravel Ride "It doesn't tear your ass off but..." The Polish word "puszcza" means either a "primeval forest" or "wilderness". We have many puszcza in Poland. Some are indeed very well preserved primeval forests (with big strict nature reservations) while some other rather...

July 31st - August 6th, 2026. The temps are moderate in Ireland. It is cold when it rains and the wind's blowing. Here's how people feel when it is the Irish Summer (approximately 10 days in late July).

It takes a French longer to engage in a conversation using English. They usually reply (and their English can be perfect) but they seem to force themselves to talk.

The Best Photos... 07 From Kenmare to Killarney via Moll's Gap and Killarney National Park A typical Ireland's secondary road :) It can be Carrauntoohil, the highest peak of Ireland. Moll's Gap at the Avoca store. You go left to see Lake Barfinnihy or right towards Killarney. Lake...

Besides, I've heard an interesting story from my cousin in Cork. He used to work in Londonderry/Derry but lived in Ireland nearby; it was in 1999 soon after the peace was made. One of the first questions he asked his landlady for was whether she'd serve the English or Irish Breakfast. As you...

I guess they paved the road in 2012 :)

So there's no agreement as to the pronunciation, same as there is no agreement where the jam and cream should go :) The biggest dispute of this type in Poland is whether Kielecki or Winiary mayonnaise is better, and there's always a third party to prefer their local variety :) I can troll my...

The Best Photos... 06 A loop ride from Kenmare: Glengarriff and the return via Priest's Leap! Our car trip was different from the cycling route I've shown in the original post. We went to Bantry but let us skip Bantry now. After having passed Caha Tunnel, you would take an alternate route...

Now I know (checked it), thank you!

The Best Photos... 05 Valentia Island to Kenmare (Ring of Kerry West and South) I took a swim in the ocean at 7 a.m. :) Beautiful village of Waterville. Which way of eating scones do you prefer, @Chargeride? :) I like having the cream on the top! Like country, like tourists :) A view...

The Best Photos... 04 Skelligs Ring We started the trip with exploring Valentia Island (which is, technically speaking, not on the Ring but more than worthwhile!) Getting to Valentia Lighthouse was difficult because of narrow, winding and steep roads. (The Lighthouse can be visited for a fee...

The Best Photos... 03 From Dingle to Valentia Island (via Castlemaine, Killorglin, Cahersiveen and Reenard Point) The beach in Inch. The cape here makes the passage from the Dingle Bay to Castlemaine Harbour (still a large bay) narrow, protecting the inner bay from the Atlantic waves. The road...

The Best Photos... 02 Slea Head Drive (A loop ride from Dingle, anticlockwise) Brandon Peak as photographed from a pretty large distance (looks more impressively that way) :) Brandon Creek (much earlier on the trip). I cannot identify that rock formation. West Kerry Brewery in Reask...

I've been to Ireland thrice. Dublin is a one day visit and you've seen it all :) County Donegal is very sparsely populated (which is a good thing for a tourist) but I could only find a single area that was breathtaking: Malin Beg with Slieve League cliffs (I will cover it briefly later on)...

Like Specialized, I'm sure. How about TREK?

@Brix could see the eclipse using a sooty glass but was unable to take a photo with a camera either. I was disinterested and didn't even come out.
