Ireland by Bike 2015

Here’s an interactive route map of my 1.400 km solo bike ride around Ireland. I started the journey in Dublin, Ireland (April 16, 2015) and finished in Belfast, Northern Ireland (April 28, 2015). 12 cycling days (avg. 117 km/day). 1 rest day (in Galway).

Photos and short daily reports can be found on my Facebook. Come closer.

By clicking the individual stages on the map below (each cycling day is marked by colors red, blue, and green), you can access another link (on the site ridewithgps) that has lots of data about the specific cycling day (e.g. distance, elevation gain, ride time, gradient). See example from Day 1.

You can also check out the Ireland Route Map in a new Google Maps window.

…and here’s a stack of visual highlights from Ireland – and island that totally surprised me with lots of stunningly beautiful nature and coastal regions, lots of quiet country roads, full-on sunshine 11 out of 14 days, considerate drivers and warm-hearted people. Nothing not to like, really…
