    Im hoping to do the Sean Kelly Tour down in waterford this summer and would like to start training for it now that the weather is getting better. Does anyone know any good routes that you can cycle for about 50K in the dublin area.

    Thanks

    What part of the city are you based?
    If Southside up around glendalough can be good. If Northside head outwards rush.

    another good southside one is out to Enniskerry then on to Glencree (have a tea in the glencree cafe) and back to Dublin on the Military road which brings you into Rathfarnham. About 3 hours at a slow pace.

    Afternoon Mollybird,

    Take a short hop in the car to Maynooth from Lucan.

    I do a spin thats just under 50km. Maynooth to Kilcock to Summerhill(not into the town but the roundabout outside the town) over to Dunboyne & back to Maynooth. I like it as there is generally very little traffic on it, there are a couple of hills but nothing to severe. At present I am taking 2 hrs 15 approx to cover it, working on getting it done to 2 hours or under.

    check out google maps with the above details!

    enjoy.
