WHAT IS IT
We're off to Ireland for an incredible week of coastal and back road riding as we trace much of the iconic Wild Atlantic Way. Starting out of Dublin, we'll ride all the epic passes such as Healy Pass and Priest's Leap, stopping off along the way at iconic locations such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, home of Father Ted's house and the most southerly point of Mizen Head. We'll eat in local Irish bars and complete the loop by heading south to Rosslare for the ferry home. Choose from either a camping/bunkhouse option or twin share hotel room.
HOW IT WORKS:
This trip is supported in that there will always be option to ride with a guide, however it is always encouraged where riders wish to ride at a quicker or slower pace, or take in a slightly different route then there is the flexibility to do that, with a paper and GPX road book and accommodation stops provided prior to departure.
Daily distances average around 160 miles. Along the way there are some single track roads with grass down the middle. Other parts are open and flowing. There's some challenging riding instore and the weather is what it is; Ireland, though for the last two years running we've been blessed by the sunshine Gods!
WHO IS IT FOR?:
It's for anyone who wants to have an adventure in Ireland. If you've done Scotland and the rest of the UK then Ireland is a great place to head to next. It's quieter than Scotland. Has better food and the welcoming is warm. It's also for people who've travelled more extensively but who fancy something nice and manageable closer to home. It's just a great place to cut your adventure chops with like minded people.
Bike choice is open to you. Anything capable of a sustained 50mph is manageable. I'd say 250cc and above, although smaller bikes have done the trip before. Being able to self navigate means that you can ride to your own pace if you do come on a smaller machine, or equally for those who like a lot of coffee breaks! Packing light is key. No need to overload. A change of clothes and some good waterproofs.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
The price includes the return ferry to and from Ireland, road book, guiding services, and all accommodation along the way. Sometimes breakfast is an additional cost. The road book and GPX files will be issued approximately 2 months ahead of the departure date.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED?
The price doesn't include fuel, food and spending money. Riders will also need to check their own vehicle insurance to make sure cover extends to Ireland, with breakdown cover advised. It also advised that you take out suitable travel insurance and note that there is no provision for personal injury insurance. Riders embark on this trip at their own risk.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You need a well serviced and travel ready machine. It needs fresh tyres and any other consumable for what will be approximately a 1000 mile trip. You will need decent riding kit, including sturdy boots and good waterproofs. Camping kit if you're camping, consisting of a basic pack list of tent, sleeping bag and inflatable mat. It's optional to take cooking equipment as usually there are local amenities nearby.
