Simply Cycling Ireland
John Clinton , Co.
Clare The tours are based in the west and generally begin and end where there are good transport links. Some tours begin in the village of Doolin and for these we can collect you from Shannon airport or Ennis to start your tour. The terrain is a mixture of coastal and inland, flat and undulating countryside. We try to keep to flatter parts but there is the occasional long climb and some short hills. Daily distances are about 30 to 45 kms with many stops along the way. Show me all the details for Simply Cycling Ireland |
