About riding in Ireland
Ireland has quiet, winding roads, rolling green hills and a rugged Atlantic coast. Weather is mild but changeable, and wind and rain are always possible, so pack layers.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 209 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 20h 54m |
| 12 mph | 17h 25m |
| 14 mph | 14h 56m |
| 16 mph | 13h 04m |
| 18 mph | 11h 37m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
