The plan for the day was to head up to The Vee, taking in a few dirt roads. Unfortunately my front brake decided to stop working, and I got very nervous about the dirt descents. It took a few hours for the brain to kick in allowing me to figure out what was going on and get it working again. It continued to be problematic for the remainder of the trip though I replaced it once I got back home. As I'm finally writing this up a couple of years later, I don't remember the details, but my titles on strava say it was a front brake issue that I fixed at lunch!
The first time I rode The Vee, I had no idea what I was about to experience. After cresting from the south, you come around the corner and there is such an amazing view. While it wasn't such a surprise this time, it was still mind-blowing. Definitely make your way to The Vee (from the south) when you are in Tipperary!
I continued down into Cahir, went by the Swiss Cottage and then stopped in town for lunch. I loaded up my route from a few years back to get back to Lismore. This time, I stopped for dinner before climbing up to the BnB!
