    Driving from Donegal to Dublin this weekend, thought I could break up the trip with a spin somewhere nice. Anyone any suggestions?

    The route isn't fixed, so anywhere around Enniskillen, Cavan, Monaghan or Longford would be good. Meath is out, do enough cycling there already.

    Any particularly cycling-friendly scenic spots that people are familiar with, and could recommend?

    I've done a few routes around Leitrim. No end of small lanes there to get lost in. Also includes a nice climb, although the surface is sketchy. I will dig it out.

    As above, Ballyconnell, Glan, Slievenakilla, Ballinamore and back. Can be extended or shortened as required. Its mainly on back roads with two fantastic climbs.
