Tips

Beyond the Horizon

April 26, 2022

You are on the Healy Pass, one of the most legendary cycling routes in western County Cork.

The route presents a challenge from the start. Your speedometer counts kilometer by kilometer as you wind your way up through serpentines. A real climb that makes even experienced cyclists sweat. But with every meter you climb, an increasingly impressive panorama opens up.

The summit is not just a highlight for KOM hunters. Here, between rocky hills and lush green meadows, you have a breathtaking view of the rugged beauty of Ireland. The moment when you stop for a moment, take a breath and take in this view is priceless.

The descent, a thrilling experience, makes every sprinter's heart beat faster. The corners require skill and concentration, but they also offer the chance to fully enjoy the speed and dynamics of your bike.

There are many stops along the route that invite you to linger. Maybe a quick chat with other cyclists, an exchange of route tips or just a moment of silence to absorb the raw, untouched landscapes of County Cork.

And as the wind continues to blow through your hair and the sun slowly disappears behind the hills, you feel this deep sense of contentment. The feeling that you've just conquered one of Ireland's most impressive passes on two wheels.
