  1. Good morning, and a big thanks - huge - to City Cycles in Cabra who very generously swapped my tyres for me a short notice, meaning I can head off today on a cycle along the Barrow Way.

    Hopefully I won't fall into the river now..

  5. A question for #rothar folk: I'm contemplating a cycle along the Barrow Way (from Muine Beag to Athy), and I'm assuming there are parts that are still unpaved.

    My question is: will I be okay with road tyres or should I switch to cyclocross/cx tyres? (Neither are puncture resistant, alas.)

    eta: my bike is a cx bike.

    What think ye? 😬

  7. My first official act as an Irish and European citizen: I am registered to vote. Sharon at Co. Carlow Council was very thorough and efficient! She made quick work of it after I applied online but it got kicked back since my ppsn hadn’t caught up to my nationality yet. Anyway, very fast work by her and the registrar and I’m done 👍 Also I just mailed my documentation for my passport. They say this might take 8 weeks. The Garda who signed my documents was very nice and welcoming. #Carlow is a nice town and county for sure. #Mastodaoine #Ireland

  11. #CarlowPride #Mastodaoine #LGBTQIA #Ireland #Carlow 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪🇪🇺

    I walked with the parade and stayed for a bit of the music. I had some food. But the sun and heat were getting to me. Old guy Irish energy. At home now with a wonderful breeze coming off the Barrow. Sipping a lager. I can hear the music in the distance.

  12. 🧵 At the #Pride parade in #Carlow #Ireland today. It had me thinking about a recent article on the #Prideparade in #TelAvi and how it was canceled since the illegal invasion of #Gaza. It's worth noting that a considerable amount of members of the #LGBTO community there are fully aware of the image that is often portrayed about the Israeli regime being a liberal democracy that is pro #LGBTO but in a lot of cases, this is not true. #Pride2026 #Israel #LFBTQIA #FarRight
