Cycling
2009
Enjoy the
adventure without the hassle. From the rolling green fields dotted with
ancient ruins and forts to the dramatic coastline, towering cliffs and
amazing scenery, Ireland offers endless fuel for your active spirit.
These group cycling tours of Ireland allow you to enjoy your daily rides
without the worries; your equipment is provided, your luggage is transferred,
and your routes are set, all you have to do is enjoy the journey. The
average daily route is 30 - 40 miles and allows cyclists to travel at
their own pace. There is plenty of time for rest stops, detours, and
soaking up the magnificent scenery. These cycling itineraries have been
created with a range of cycling abilities in mind. Each route should
be manageable for all levels and alternate routes are available for
the more avid cyclists (the more challenging routes are denoted with
an asterisk below). Novice riders can take comfort in knowing that the
guide will do daily sweeps to pick-up anyone wishing for a break!
