    is it ever actually 200? only 195km the year I did it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭saccades


    My bike computer and Strava both told me 202km which roughly matched both Google and the AA route planner.

    how in god's name did you manage to average 27km/h over nearly 600km?

    I sometimes wonder that myself.....

    Well prepared, well supported and riding with a strong group, we had a few lads who did the first 300km with us then a few more stepped in for the second half. Four of us did the whole thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,861 ✭✭✭✭greenspurs


    200km - Waterford to Killarney , then did the Ring of Kerry the next day.

    90km or so. Up the Wicklow mountains so it was fairly tough, had to get picked up about 20km from home. Just couldn't finish the distance and was fuming as I've never broken 100km!

    Canyon Roadlite AL 6.0. Done a few 70-80km spins but not many.

    ( Think I saw a lad in Portumna on one last year, I was tempted to commit crime!)

    I did this in three different years in the 80's, on steel MTB's (GT Karakoram & Dawes Cougar 531) with slick tyres. I made it up in about 5.5 hours one year (PS: I was in my late teens).
    Did it again in my thirties, in 2003 (the Border Trek, Enniskillen to Sligo) with workmates, this time on another steel MTB (Bridgestone MB0). It took longer...
