100km+ cycle

WilkBMC

Hi everyone, I am looking to see if anyone has any tried and tested routes around north co.dublin looking to do 100-110km cycle with some decent climbs aswell if possible on saturday or sunday.

I was thinking of heading towards Navan but looking for ideas.

All help would be great thanks.

Bellewstown... From any direction involves hills!.

Do you go more north from bellewstown then or would you head west? Bellewstown seems like a good climb

OP, are you in a club? Lucan cycling club meet on a Saturday with different groups, (including a sportive only group) heading off with North County Dublin a favoured route. Swords have groups meeting over the weekend as well and their routes usually includes some hills out that way.

If your not interested in joining a club then check out Strava which has a number of routes posted by members around NCD.

The swordscc sportive route includes most (if not all) hills in NCD.

If you are looking for some climbing stay east of the N2. Something like this and add in The Naul and Snowtown, from different sides to make up the distance.

Thanks for the help lads, no I am not in a club and at the minute I am just doing my own training and looking for some challenging cycles that are near by to me.

I will have a look through strava for some more routes but I am thinking this will be a good challenge for me.
