Anyone done this? It looks intriguing to me seeing as I've never cycled over there.
looking at your website at the moment some great tours photos are excellent, can i ask what was your favourate tour and have you got it listed.How is it possible to loose out on the best bits of that area as this tour does ? That tour looks good though, but there is a better tour. Let's call it The NorthWest CycleChat Trail. And it is....
Start in Larne (ferry from UK mainland and/or train from Belfast) and the truly incredible north coast to Derry. After visiting this truly outstanding town, cycle over the border (and please report back if you find it) to Letterkenny. Then the truly incredible N57 combined with R257 and R259 to Donegal City. Then either over Fermanagh to Omagh and Belfast again with return to UK mainland or the coastal roads down to Sligo and over with a train to Dublin.
A far better route than the rather dull looking North-west Trail, delivered to you by CycleChat.

thanks for that we will be cycling the antrim coast come this may on our tour of ireland. thanks againMy favorite tour ? That is a very, very (impossible !) difficult choice. But in Northern Ireland, it is most definate the Antrim coast tour. For the rest, I do not know. I had one excellent 60 km tour two days ago which gave me a massive boost (my girlfriend thought I was on cocaine... I was not !!).
I honestly cannot answer your question. I got so many, many great moments on the bike.
thanks for that i was reading your epic tour of the mourns 250km in one day wow over all those hills .Remember that you have the possibility to do the Larne to Coleraine. Then you can jump on the train to Derry (check the train times before leaving) for a quick bypass of the less interesting bit and then spend some time in this very fascinating town before you head of again on the road. Don't forget to visit Bushmills distillery for the obligatory my-bike-and-a-distillery photo....
There's a rather spooky echo here!It was doubtful if they would operate this year but it seems funding has been found and they will run . The only thing is, the Swilly ferry doesn't start until June so will be no good for me.![]()
