Hey,

If I cycled from Rathmines - Ranelagh- Dundrum- Stepaside- Johnny FOxs- turn right at johnny foxes and continued on and down the hill turn left- it goes up hill and comes out at a viewing point over Dublin and back down to Rathfarnham - Terenure - and Rathmines..

what distance would that be in km's.

I set my tyre size on my speedometer to 700x23(whats written on the tyre) and it gave it as 33km.

But my old speedometer i just left the setting at 27'' and I am sure that same spin was only 15km.

Can anyone help explain? Thanks

go to googlemaps, map my ride, bikeroutetoaster or any of those and make a rout you described and it will tell you the distance for it
