Very nice spin today. Got on the road at 9:10. Still not bad for a Sunday morning. Couple of pints of home brew last night, so head a bit ropey. It tastes nice, but seems to contain bits of rusty nail.
Drove to Robertstown Co. Kildare. Was here when I was very small at a canal tour. Think I was about 5 or 6 then. 38 now. Have not been back since. Nice little place. Lovely morning. Plenty of sunshine and some chance or rain.
Dropped one of the cars there and put both bikes on the rack on the other car. Drove to Sallins. That's the housekeeping over.
In Sallins we parked beside the canal on the North bank at Sallins bridge. Cycled to the Leinster Aqueduct. Very nice. Liffey flows underneath at this point. The canal is very narrow. There is a pumping station below the aqueduct which is pumping water from the Liffey up into the canal to top it up. This picture is the Liffey viewed from the top of the aqueduct. In the bottom right of the picture you can just see the pumping station.
We continued on the towpath to Lowtown. All of the canal is passable. We had some very heavy rain recently, but the paths were not bogged down.
