2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

Gorgeous photos! Your rounded beach cobbles are a lot bigger than our fist-sized versions.

Well spotted! Now those are pretty interesting. As I'm not a geologist I just thought the council dumped them to prevent beach erosion. Then I saw an info board. Turns out these smooth rounded stones got that way by being rolled across the bay floor over millennia then crunched together by the frequent Atlantic storms, and this beach is of special geological interest. The ruined castle (Minard Castle) was also featured in Ryan's Daughter, Lean filmed all over the Dingle peninsula. He put Dingle on the map.

St Bridgid's cross. Find them all over Ireland.

Very Irish. The photo from an abbey in Donegal Town, Ireland, where four monks (The Four Masters) once wrote "The History of the Kingdom of Ireland".

I posted a short of my Dune ride, very odd viewing stats .

Georgia in Caucasus? Or, in the United States?
You should have a viewer from Poland now

Im a little suspicious this might be something to do with the 2000% increase in VPNs after the safety act

Now that I don't bounce so well, I generally prefer light-colored bikes for visibility. But have to admit, black with red accents is hard to beat.

As Alaskan, I believe, remarked ‘comes in any color black you want.’ Two lights in rear…construction-green headdress sun shield…hard to unsee me even after a few drinks…but I’m on empty country roads and near misses are deliberate

Im still waiting for the high storm tide version, that would be insane, the surge can come half way up the dunes.

That would be quite a sight! Most of the sea cliff damage leading to cliff retreat (5 cm/yr on average all along the CA coast) comes from sand- and cobble-laden storm waves scoring direct hits on the cliff faces at high tide. Usually during just a few big winter Pacific storms per year. Puts on a good show.
