Fun thing. Fun, fun, fun.
Back in April, something miraculous occurred: Both Roisin and I were not working (on a Friday) and it was about 25°C. In Ireland. In April. I already said that. Naturally, we took advantage of the fortunate circumstances we found ourselves in.
We packed a picnic and took the ferry to the largest of the Aran Islands, Inis Mór (which, my international friends, translates as ‘the big island’- we Irish are renowned for our creativity). We rented bikes. We had fun.
You may have read here that I was quite a late learner when it came to riding a bike. I was kind of nervous to get on one again, especially having not been on one in years- but it turns out that the whole ‘it’s like riding a bike’ talk is true and you just pick it right up again.
Everyone should do this.
Update: The Day Zero Project website is up and running again, I just forgot to tell you. You can see my list here- or set up your own list! If you are doing this, please email me- thelmafrayne at gmail dot com. I love reading other people’s lists.
€5 was donated to Habitat for Humanity for the completion of this thing. Click here to read about the cause and donate online.

What a fun day! I love warm weather days. We have had so much rain here lately, which is so unusual for us. But, today is sunny and I am happy and wishing I were riding a bike. Someday I want to visit Ireland. I think I've mentioned that in a comment before. :)

Ah, I LOVE the idea of renting bicycles for the day! :)
How fun! I've been wanting to do this all summer. Maybe this is just the inspiration I need : )
It looks really beautiful there!
we borrowed bikes while we were on vacation and i had forgotten how fun it is to tour a town that way.
my hubs and I used to rent a tandem bike and bike aound all day long. yes we are that cheesy.
that's fun to rent bikes for a day and ride around the beach, seems so chill and carefree!!
FUN! I would so do this in a heartbeat. What a lovely area to peddle around in too.
Now this is absolutely beautiful! What a fantastic day you both had! I need to vacation there immediately.
i did this in cali a few years ago and rode down the entire beachwalk...it was kinda nervous getting on a bicycle again! haven't rode since i was a kid! fun times, though!
[oomph.]
That's so awesome! I'd love to do something like that. When I was living in France I tried to get my friends to do a long bike ride with me and they all thought I was crazy! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Oh wow! I would love to do that everyday! I wish I lived somewhere that's as gorgeous as that place...and I wish I knew how to ride a bike. (I know, so embarassing)

ooo this post excites me to no end :) My bf and I are travelling next year and Ireland is on our list, looks like if we're lucky, and the weather behaves we will have to take a bike ride around an island! p.s I laughed out loud with your comment of translation for your international readers with the 'big island' haha
