This is a ride to the Emerald Isle, passing through country lanes and roads. 

The roads are much better than here in the UK, with few, if any, significant potholes. 

The weather can be warm; it can be wet and when it’s wet, it’s really really wet! Some of the days are long both in terms of mileage and riding time so you will need to be sure of your riding stamina.

The roads can be twisty at times. This is a riding holiday, so time spent in stopovers is quite minimal. We probably won’t get chance to visit cathedrals or do walking tours.  Speeds – the motorway limits are 120kmH, or approx. 72mph; your bike will need to be able to keep a reasonable speed if we end up using the motorway. 

Speed limits in towns and villages are generally 50kmh (~30mph) unless otherwise stated. Regional roads tend to be 80kmh (~50mph). National roads are at 100kmH. Petrol – just like in the UK, stations are everywhere. Variety of food and drink – all part of the travel experience, good food and good beer and wine.

We’ll find a restaurant to enjoy each day where we can enjoy reminiscing about the day and some playful banter.It’s your holiday, so please ride at a pace that suits you. If you want to go off on your own, then please do so. Or, if you want to stay in a group, then again, do so – it’s always your choice.

But always ride for yourself!
