Trans Atlantic? That could get a bit moist, on a bike.

It is the west coast of Ireland. Moisture and wind guaranteed.

Trans Atlantic or Oram Atlantic route.
I found the Mid Atlantic Ridge to be a tad steep

Nope this ultra event has always been called TAW

Well they should go out and find original routes not copy (reinvent) existing ones.🫢

TWA Now most people would imagine that its from Nordkapp to Cape Town . Ireland might have 1% of the Atlantic coastline. Oram is better name than the Euro velo 1 Ireland race.

Sounds like you don’t understand. It’s not describing a route it is the name of an event. As to TWA who knows what that refers to but it’s not TAW🤣😂

Its just that once some route has a name it eventually becomes an event (race) to do. Example the Great Divide or the Trans am. They started out as touring routes set up by Adventure Cycling Association. Give it a fancy name and make money. The Trans am was first run in 1976 , one of my mates was on the first one . 2014 for the first race😂

This poster is interesting, where is the Wild? Does something need a pile of spin / hype today to get people interested?

The scenery is stunning, I've been many times, it has a very rugged coast line. Reminiscent of the rugged parts of Cornwall, but without the crowds. Superb......
