    You could do the 100km Tour de Cure route. Quite nice when you get off the main road.

    Ballycotton...Youghal...Clashmore...Villierstown...Lismore....Tallow

    from there back to either Youghal or Midleton.

    Midleton route could be a bit above 100km

    Thanks
    Is the main rd N25 between Youghal and Midleton ok to cycle or best avoided ?

    The N25 between Youghal and Midleton has a hard shoulder for the majority of it, coming into towns and villages you loose this for a bit, surface is good too and I would love to say its a safe road but no road is ever safe so just keep your wits about you. Enjoy your time down in Cork.

    HI Just an idea and it is slightly over the 100 at 107 but it would be a nice enough route especially if a decent day. You ccould shorten it if you want to come back through cloyne again.

    I cant guarantee the road surface for The Cobh Island bit as i havent been down there yet this year but it is a nice scenic bit
