    Off to Kerry today until Friday. Will get two passes for 3 hour spins depending on good behaviour! I'll be based in Dingle but don't really know that part of the world too well. If anyone would like to suggest some scenic routes from Dingle ideally taking in a climb or two I'd be grateful.

    Great spot. You have the Conor pass right beside the town. Great spin from dingle to slea head along the coast, then back around the far side - 45km or so. Nice spin also back the other way to Inch but the road can be busier.

    Conor Pass is a must. I'd recommend climbing from the North and descending into Dingle, great wide open road on the descent and amazing views on the way up the other side. Just keep an eye out for sheep and walkers. A good route would be Dingle to Anascaul, on to Camp and along the coast until you get to the Conor pass, then back into Dingle. Here's a route I did in 2012 which has all of that except the last part into Dingle: https://www.strava.com/activities/6421150. In fact, if you split that ride into two spins that would be ideal-do the Conor pass one day and the slea head bit the next. Absolutely stunning scenery. Another favourite of mine down there is the short coast road to Inch, if you take a southerly turn at Annascaul.
