Tips

With grass up the middle of the road, you know it will be a quiet one. It's unusual to meet a car here. The climbs in either direction are steep, but as ever, the views make it all worthwhile.

Beyond the Horizon

October 9, 2024

Hardly any traffic, just a gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves accompany you on the climb. The inclines demand some effort, but that's precisely what makes it so appealing – the view, which opens up a little more with every meter gained, is well worth it.

Once you reach the top, a green mosaic of meadows, fields, and rolling hills unfolds before you. In the distance, small white houses appear, nestled in the Irish landscape. The descent requires a bit of caution; the narrow bends and the sometimes rough asphalt surface don't allow for excessive speed.

Enjoy the tranquility that surrounds you here and the sweeping views across the valleys. A place that shows you that you don't always need to take the most famous roads to have the most wonderful cycling experiences.
