Afternoon folks,

I'm looking for some help in sussing out some of your best biking roads over there, anyone got any tips?

We've got a batch of brilliant accommodation providers on board now, Stena are making all the right noises about a bit of a deal with ferries - all that's left is the twisty bits of tarmac in-between to link them all up.

All input very much welcomed, so thanks in advance!

Cheers

These routes are quite good. I live in the middle of them so ride them daily pretty much.

Go on advrider and type Ireland in the search box, there are a few really good write ups with pictures, road names and attractions. This will cover all of Ireland though, not just the north. I will be going around the coast 3rd week of May finishing off back home for the road races. I'll give you a quick summary of roads and campsites when I get back.

Can recommend. Ballycastle to Portrush, well tbh anywhere up along the Antrim coast, one of the most stunning parts of the world to ride a bike. Also went up into Donegal but felt a GS BMW might have been a better option on the backroads. Connemara also has some stunning roads and scenery. Enjoy your trip accept you're going to get wet at some stage, but its all so worth it.
