Meath.....the home stretch!

After filling our bellies with a delicious fry courtesy of Mrs. Townley, we hit the road and headed for Meath!
Once again we were lucky to have the sun shining down on us as we headed along the hilly road towards Ashbourne.
We stopped in Slane for a quick bite to eat where we were joined by Mags Phelan who followed us (in the car!) as far as Ashbourne where we parted company.
Before hitting the road we had a quick chat with our pal Joe Duffy on RTE radio's Liveline which helped to spur us on out of Slane across the bridge and up the hill!!! Many's a time both of us have walked up the hill after a concert in Slane castle but never did either of us think we would be cycling down it with so many miles under our wheels!!
We arrived in Ashbourne in the early evening where we were warmly greeted by Mrs King (mother to the infamous Feargal 'Karaoke'King). We enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal and relaxed in front of the fire in the King household.
As tomorrow will be our final day in the saddle we have been looking back over the past few weeks and we both agree that although we are looking forward to seeing our friends and family tomorrow we will also be sad to finish our journey and will always look back with find memories of our trip.

Tomorrow we will spin the short journey towards Dublin with the great excitement of seeing all our friends and family in the Herbert Park Hotel at half 5 spurring us on towards the finish line!
