Ireland 2011

Mt Leinster/Humpy Hundred

For years, John has talked about Mt Leinster. It is the Mt Washington of Ireland - long hard climb with brutal winds. The weather had not cooperated on previous vists, so I had never ridden up this fabled climb. Last year in May, John and David did a ride that took in the climb on a slightly warmer day. Photos can be seen here. You may notice that David is wearing knee warmers for that ride, but has on much more clothing for this year's attempt.

We'll be feeling a little crappy soon...


The lead-up to the Corrabut Gap, which is just visible in the top right-hand corner of the shot.


The top is getting close...
