Where were we Saturday ?

[Jockser]

The Daithi lad & I spent the weekend on the bikes, doing a bit of reconnaissance work for a run later in the year. Despite the weather on Friday evening & the forecast for the weekend we had good weather both days with the exception of a shower about midday yesterday & a damp ride home last night. We had a great spin & covered about 600km over the two days.

And a big 'thank you' to Mrs Daithi for the dinner, bed & breakfast

While we were out we came across this place. I'd never seen it before & was more than a little surprised to be riding down an Irish country road & see an Indian-type structure plonked on the end of a bridge. Who knows what / where it is ?

Could be, but you'll need to tell us where before you're awarded the gold medal

Reminds me of the look of some of the buildings in the Great Exhibition in Ballsbridge which I was only reading about...ut that was in 1905 or so.

Before my time I'm afraid, mate

Called "The Great White Fair"

Amazing event, hard to believe it was there and that there is no trace of it now.

I'm pleading the 'Fifth', you'll have to ask Daithi. It's all his fault
