Day 7, July 5, 2012

I'm catching up with my blog. We left Roddy's house and cycled into Rathmullen, about 3 miles away, to catch the 9:40 ferry. The weather was beautiful today and we had an exciting day ahead of us. Our goal was to cycle the Inishowen Peninsula and visit Malin Head which is the northernmost point in Ireland. We arrived at Malin Head in the late afternoon then cycled to Greencastle, hoping to catch the 7 pm ferry across Lough Foyle to Magilligan Point in Northern Ireland. We made it to the ferry with time to spare. on the other side, we still had about 19 miles to go to get to our destination of Port Stewart. Paul and I contined the ride and Stuart rode in the car with Nancy and Becky. It was a long day of riding. We went 89 miles and climbed 4000 feet. We arrived at our B&B at 9 pm. It was hard at that time of night to find a restaurant to serve us but we ended up going to an all-you-can-eat buffet. That was just what the doctor ordered after a long day of riding.
