We knew before we started the day that it would involve a lot of uphill climbing as we were headed into the Wicklow Mountains, but this view from the south end of Dublin helped us get a better understanding of what was in store.
Despite the long climb ahead, Hamilton and Freeman were resolved to look cool and in control.
We got to the town of Enniskerry in time for lunch.
The area was really pretty.
And steep enough to make us walk the bikes up some of the hills--whew!
We were glad to get the views from being up above the valley . . .
but could have done without an old-timer standing by the road pointing out the road down below us that we could have taken instead.Eventually, we arrived at the town of Roundwood to be greeted by this sign:
Yep, we had climbed a lot!!! We stopped in Roundwood for a snack . . .
Before descending towards a river and Annamoe.
A long day of riding for sure, but a very good day!
