Day eleven began as a typical summers day in Ballybunion: dull and damp. Suitably clad for the weather (John had two showerproof jackets on) we set off into the gloom. The weather improved as we approached Tralee, and we set about finding directions for the golf club. Neil confidently predicted the first person would know. Half a dozen locals later no one had any idea. As it turned out Tralee golf club is not in Tralee but about six miles away. Eventually we found someone who knew not one but two ways to the golf club. He recommended one route but when we cycled off down the other one he chased after us to tell where we had gone wrong. He reluctantly agreed to let us continue and we eventually made to Tralee Golf Club.
The golf club were extremely welcoming, made a generous donation, and gave us lunch after we had massacred their lovely 2nd hole.
Off we pedalled towards Waterville which was a lot of hills but we eventually made it and had tea in the clubhouse before retiring to the excellent Brookhaven Lodge where we were treated to tea and fruit bread.
Today: 91 miles
Total: 657 miles
