Route Planning plus advice on Boyle to Birr

    Hello,

    I'm trying to plan a route at the moment and even though there's loads of sites for ordinary distance calculations etc., I'm wondering does anyone have any tips on working out the relative safety of roads (eg. whether they have hard shoulders or not). I'm hoping to cycle as much as I can of Boyle to Birr this Saturday (odd choice I know but have a family event to go to in Tipperary so it is about killing two birds with the one stone, as well as the satisfaction of trying an A to B route rather than a loop). Having previously driven some of the main roads in Roscommon before, some which are very narrow and twisty but with speed limits of 100km/hr, I'd like to keep off them at least some of the time. On the other hand, some of the regional and local roads might not necessarily be much better if they also lack hard shoulders and are even narrower than the N roads, have average speeds of 80km/hr and have poorer surfaces?
