Being the start day of the tour, Claus and I were arranging the bikes and airport transfers while the other riders spent the day exploring the cities attractions and enjoying a tour of the ‘black gold’ (Guinness) factory.

With the bikes handed over and the tour briefing done, we walked along the riverside for our first group dinner together at a nearby local restaurant where we all enjoyed a divine dinner. Definitely one of those ‘can I lick my plate..’ kind of dinners!
