Bikepacking to World Champs: Day 2 in North Ireland
Day 2 was spent in North Ireland. We climbed through the Mourne Mountains and got to see the green Irish hills in the sunlight. WOW. We also discuss with first time bikepackers Franz and Caitlin, about what they think of their first experience. Is bikepacking for everyone? We also talk with some locals about the culture of tea VS coffee in Ireland, and taste Haggis and Toffee Sticky Pudding.
Maghalie is racing the Marathon MTB and the E-MTB World Championships in Scotland. But, to make the most of the trip, her and her husband David (and their two friends Caitlin and Franz) are riding to the race. Their bike packing journey will take them from Dublin in Ireland, to Edinburgh in Scotland over 500km of Irish & Scottish road and trails, before racing her two events.
