    My overall best I think would have to be the Camino de Santiago which I did in reverse, the coastal route, in 1999- taking it at a leisurely pace, around 1,000km in three and a half months :eek:

    Not having the ability to take such leisurely holidays now second place would go to the Camino done the right way around last year on the traditional route, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago, 867km, 12 days.

    I've really enjoyed the bike tours I've done - Mayo Coast, Budapest to Bucharest, the Camino too.

    Generally any summer (or winter) mtb ride where you really get into the flow and it feels like you're gliding over the trails.

    Malin to Mizen sticking to the west coast as much as possible. Hard to find a highlight as it was all amazing. Mayo into Connemara was a particular amazing cycle!!

    Was the camino the one that Tim Moore (author of the hilarious French Revolutions - no cyclist should be without this on their book shelf), did with a donkey and wrote about in a book called Spanish Steps ? Would be interested in that myself, read the book a few years ago, sounded great.
