Off again in wet and windy weather - a 40 mile per hour gale blowing this morning - leaving behind our posh hotel in Wexford, and heading for a breakfast stop at Wellington at 10:00 (pictured).Day 5 by some distance must be the most challenging to face the cyclists; if yesterday was the day of wind, today's enemy was the wet as well.
Overnight there were horrendous conditions, with the force of the wind evidenced by the howling around the roof tops as the Team slept. Thank goodness they had not attempted to make camp.
The scope of what had been paid for at the posh hotel did not include breakfast, so with empty tummies the team assembled themselves, already exhausted from the previous days effort, but rejuvenated to some extent by a nights sleep in a proper bed.
The heavy wind was to some extent behind them, so they made good speed as far as Wellington Bridge, where all fell ravenously upon enormous Irish breakfasts in the local cafe.
keep going lads almost there now think of the stories afterwards take care of yourselves on the home straight.
