June 7, 2025,Irland, Clifden Sky Road & Loop 3

We booked the e-bikes online before the trip.

The team in Clifden was very accommodating and friendly.

The bikes are used but still in good condition.

Maintenance and cleanliness were good.

The weather forecast indicated brief rain showers.

It rained briefly once, but with the right clothing, it wasn't a problem.

Nice double loop, first the lower skyroad, then the upper loop to Cleggan. We were there around 1 and with the tide coming in by 10 we could have crossed Omey Island dry. Then have lunch in Cleggan with delicious seafood specialties and return to Clifden.
