RIDE WILD 2014

I needed an adventure. Badly (having two babies back to back does that to you). And thought that biking the 2500 kilometers of the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland would be adventurous enough for someone who doesn’t bike on roads, long distances anyway. And then two of my friends got excited about the idea.

So then it was the three of us, Kate from the UK, Anne-Marit from Norway and me, Satu from Finland, and five weeks on the Wild Atlantic Way this August. We started on August 4th from Derry, and finished on September 5th in Kinsale.

I had no real idea what biking this kind of distance would take. But I did know that the scenery would be amazing, the food great, the weather – well, it would probably be raining, but it would be good, it was Ireland after all!

Sounds easy, huh!?

PARTNERS

There are few people and companies I can’t thank enough as they have made this trip possible. I could be sitting in the office (earning money), but feel very lucky to be doing this instead. Not a bad deal, I think.
