Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am intimately familiar with those three locations, along what I consider to be the best ride on the planet.

Congratulations, and thank you!

Ravemen CR600. It's very bright and his a nice pattern, the only downside is the short battery life. It's a good light for if you're starting or finishing your ride in the dark, but don't plan on doing the whole ride in the dark. Before I got my Lezyne 1400+, with it's exceptional battery life, I'd have to cycle between the dimmest setting for climbs and the bright setting for descents...just to maximize the battery.

County Kerry, south west Ireland - well worth a visit.

Have been to Ireland twice and can’t agree more.
