Day four: Rosapenna to Ballyshannon

After an excellent breakfast at The Rosapenna Hotel we set off in reasonable weather for Ballyshannon. We continued on to Letterkenny where over coffee we had a harsh grilling over the phone by Spectator newshound Sara (apparently we will be featured this Thursday!). After putting it off as long as we could we ascended a particularly severe looking climb out of Letterkenny We must be getting used to this by now as all made it without problems.
At Ballybofey we stopped for lunch in Kee's Hotel, where it was very tempting just to stay but on we pedalled.
As we headed on to Ballyshannon, we were passing close to Murvagh Golf Club, so although it wasn't on our round we thought they might let us play a hole anyway. Again hospitality was great and included lasagne and chips, and a bit of craic with Ronan, Gary, Gerry and David (all pictured..no idea who those pints of Guinness were for) from Omagh. We then pedalled happily the remaining miles to Ballyshannon.
Out for a quick pint in Sean Og's and some chat with the locals before retiring to bed.
