Hello from Ireland

[Ming the Merciless]

Lovely Greenway cycle up that way in Westport, Mayo. Was in that area last year and seeing all the cyclists around gave me the idea it might be something I'd enjoy.
Took me a while to get around to it but better late than never.

All the way up to Achill Island. Beautiful and wild part of the world.

My family is from Mayo and I've toured round there a bit and I had a sister living for a bit down in Bantry. Touch wood everytime I have holidayed in Ireland its been dry, sunny and warm. I know better though having lived 5 years in Dublin and visited our Galway office often 😄

Big road changes coming up/planned in the area over the next few years.

These things tend not to happen too quickly so could be a good few years yet before it happens, no shortage of boreens to cycle anyway.

Yeah, when the weather is nice it's great, have to make the most of it when the sun shines.
Had a lovely 40km cycle around the backroads in the sunshine today , only met 4 or 5 cars (and a couple of tractors) the whole time.

Gotcha, that's a bit away from me, I was thinking of the Limerick - Waterford N24 upgrade that they have been talking about for the last 20 years

Welcome “eejit”
I was doing a run in Ireland many years ago, at the time there was a plan to refurbish the canal towpath from Dublin to Galway. That would be a nice route if they did indeed finish it.

There has only been limited investment in cycling infrastructure in Ireland but that may change with the Greens being part of the current government.
Not sure how accurate this map is but it shows existing/planned/proposed Greenways in Ireland.

(Still no route from Dublin to Galway!)
