Ireland 2025 – Day 4: Cliffs, Craic & Goodbyes 🌊🍻

🏍️ Day 4 – Cliffs, Craic & Goodbyes 🌊🍻

Our last full day together — and Ireland made sure we wouldn’t forget it! 🇮🇪💚

First job of the day was to get air in my rear tyre, again… We then started the day rolling onto the Tarbert ferry ⛴️, engines rumbling and coffee in hand. Spirits were high as we cruised back onto the Wild Atlantic Way, hugged tight to the coastline by spectacular cliffside roads 🌬️🏞️.

With a scenic spin along Kilbaha Bay we made an impromptu stop at Keatings Bar & Restaurant, known as “the nearest pub to New York” and famed for the Grave of the Yellow Men 🪦. The plan was just a coffee break… but when we discovered the coffee could be free ☕😄, it somehow turned into a full Irish breakfast. Not sure how that happened — but no regrets! 🍳🥓🍞

The Cliffs of Moher came into view, wild and majestic. We thought about hiking to the top… until we saw the €15 price tag and remembered we were in full bike gear 🥵. Common sense prevailed — roadside views and a few cheeky photos did the job! 📸

From there, the route continued past the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel 🏌️‍♂️. Or, as the locals call it with a smirk — “Rump” 😏. We just has to stop for a closer look & photo opportunity.

️By late afternoon, we rolled into Doolin, a charming little town where our tents went up for the last time as a full group. 🏕️

Well, almost — one of my tent poles decided to retire early 😅, so a quick field repair was needed before I could fully settle in. I emailed the supplier the next day, and fair play — by the time I got home, two brand-new poles were waiting for me under warranty. 🙌⛺

Then came the emotional part:
We walked to a nearby pub, raised a few pints of Guinness 🍺🍺🍺 and shared stories from the road — the breakdowns, the banter, and the breathtaking views.

As the music kicked in 🎶🎻 and the craic flowed, it hit us: the trip may have been winding down, but the memories were just getting started.

Tomorrow, I ride solo.
But tonight, we celebrated friendship, freedom, and the open road. 💫
