    Hola all,

    Im wondering what would be considered good routes to
    A) Help get fitter
    B) Are scenic and just nice cycles

    Mainly, I've been cycling around phoenix park, which ticks both boxes i think, as its pretty hilly and pretty pleasing on the eye. But I'm afraid I'll get bored of it if I keep doing the same route, and would like to mix it up.

    Somewhere between 20-30k would be good if ye know of any!

    Cheers

    Are you starting from northside of southside?
    If it southside, head up Stockin Lane / Cruagh

    Follow the Grand Canal out as far as Adamstown, then turn right towards Lucan, follow the Strawberry Beds out as far as the Knockmarron Hill and go into the park. Exit the park at the NCR gate then down the NCR to Drumcondra.

    Works out around the 40k mark if you're up for a challenge.
