Can I cycle on the N11 from Wyattville towards Wexford. I'd like to do the cycle tomorrow, but dont know if it has to be the "back roads"..

N11 ok but M11 no so you be ok just try stay well clear of the main road as in use hard shoulder and be as visible as possible lights reflective gear and I mean day or night.
Have a great cycle

You'll have to get off at Newcastle and rejoin after Rathcoole, again at Ferrybank/Arklow and then after Arklow cross over the M11 and ride parallel on the R772 as far as Gorey, then cross the M11 again following the R741 straight towards Wexford, trying to get onto the N11 after this is adding on the miles and this will be shorter, not as wide as the N11 but alot quieter as well.

You can't cycle from Wyattville straight out the N11 towards Wexford! From the Loughlinstown R'bout the road becomes a motorway (M11) until the Dargle Road exit so you need to cycle out through Shankill village and continue towards Bray, turn right at St Columcilles Terrace and from there back onto the N11. Then you're ok to stick on the main road but frankly there are much more pleasant alternatives!!

As C3PO says there are better alternatives. It's a lovely cycle that you have planned but personally if I left the N11 at Shankill I'd stay off it and go the back way via Kilcoole, Rathnew , Wicklow etc. Aside from anything else I believe it's far safer-also a lot less heavy vehicles

Not quite, the N11 turns into the M11 again at Coynes Cross so you've to get off again at the next exit after Newtownmountkennedy.

Thanks all - setting off now and going to try the back roads for safety and scenary. Cheers.
