This website is a resource for
long-distance cycling enthusiasts in Ireland. The definition of a long-distance bike ride is
purely personal, for some people it is a 40k tour of their
locality for others it may be a 1000k cross country bicycle
marathon.
Long distance cycling is a rapidly developing sport in
Ireland, during 2006 almost 100 organised events were held throughout
the island. I have included the
calendar of
events for 2007 and the details of the major Irish and
international tours.
This site includes training logs for the
2006,
2005 and
2004 seasons
together with sample cycle route
details.
