Bikepacking the Wicklow Way - Red Bull
It was drier than expected but colder than I wanted as I strapped my bags to my pannier racks, buttoned up my fleece flannel and hopped on my bike for an overnight adventure. Setting off from Dublin at lunchtime loaded up with camping gear, food and bike tools, and a handlebar bag packed with dry clothes I was ready for a night in the Wicklow Mountains. The droning of car engines grew louder and louder as I made my way through the city streets. Weaving in and out of cycle lanes conscious of the extra weight and width on my bike I headed south towards Marlay Park for a solo bikepacking adventure on the Wicklow Way.
