ARRIVAL –
Today’s ride takes us through the Hidden Heartlands of Ireland as we ride southwest to Killarney.
Taking in a less traveled route west of Lough Derg in East Co. Clare, before a lunch stop in the quaint town of Killaloe, situated on the River Shannon.
Next we follow the Shannon estuary westwards to Foynes which is a fabulous biking road. Final leg south to the beautiful scenic view of Killarney Town.
Day 3 – Dingle Peninsula
The Dingle Peninsula offers a great way to start exploring the 3 peninsulas. The riding is not technical and gives you a nice way to get accustomed to your bike and surroundings.
Day 4 – Ring of Kerry
Day 5 – The Beara Peninsula
Often regarded as the jewel in the crown of the 3 Peninsulas, it really is a magical ride!
Taking the route to Kenmare, via Molls Gap and heading for Lauragh, you can stop off for a break at Teddie O’Sullivan’s or early lunch, where the local mussels are unquestionably unrivaled!
You then can choose to ride over The Healy Pass, which is a great option, especially if the weather is fine. It’s quite technical with small roads and numerous switch backs. If time is with you, it’s worth riding it in both directions as the views are stunning and different from each direction.
Ride out as far as Lamb’s Head and then back along the southern part of the Peninsula, when you are now in Co. Cork. Stop off in the fishing town of Castletown Bearhaven and ride towards Glengarriff. From here, you can take scenic boat rides out to Garnish Island, which is well worth a visit.
Heading back to Killarney via the Caha Pass – also a wonderful riding route and time dependent via Black Valley or try the Kilgarvin route, which is a really nice riding road.
Overnight in Killarney at The Brehon.
Today’s ride brings you through some of the less touristy parts of Ireland, along the western shore of the River Shannon and its lower lake, Lough Derg.
First you will ride north to Tarbert and instead of taking the ferry head east towards Foynes – this is a lovely motorcycling road, with lovely views of the Shannon estuary.
Next we head across the River Shannon, following a short run on the main motorway, over Killaloe Bridge. The route takes you along the western side of Lough Derg until you come to Portumna, and from there into the historical town of Birr.
The N52 road is well known among bikers and offers nice sweeping bends and views of the Irish countryside. It brings you to Kilbeggan, where you have the option of riding eastwards on the main motorway or taking the more scenic and rider friendly route from Kilbeggan to Kinnegad. From here it’s a short 20 minute run to Trim.
Transported back to your Dublin airport for flight home.
