    Hey All

    Usually go for a spin to Wicklow on Sundays.
    Kind of sick of Sally gap, Wicklow gap, Tullow, Laragh, etc and the roads still have loads of salt and grit on them from weeeeeeeeeeeeeeks ago! :mad:

    I'm also living in North Dublin now so a trip across the M50 is a pain in the hole too.

    Need to know good biking roads around (North/West Dublin)/Louth/Meath/West Meath/Kildare.
    Wouldn't be to inclined going past Louth/Kildare in terms of distance.

    Anyone know any good driving roads out and around this direction?

    Cheers
    G.

    If you really want a treat take the roads from Kells (take the right turn before the supervalue after cc motorbikes) up to Monaghan....they are incredible. Or after leaving Ardee heading towards Mullingar on the N52 take the right hand turn about 2 miles in, I think its signed for "Kingscourt" and that will get you there too.

    Based on your original post this is what you want to do. Also the N51 between Delvin and Athboy is worth a spin to mix it up.
