    Hi all,

    Looking for a bit of help on Dublin cycle routes. I'm not all that familiar with any cycling routes outside the city center.

    I am looking for routes 60-80 and if possible an easy, medium and hard type difficulty.

    If anybody has any route recommendations North or South of the city it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    From the city out to Dundrum -> Enniskerry and then up to Glencree (10k of moderate climbing) and then descent bringing you past the Powerscourt Waterfall, and then just back into Enniskerry and back. Nice Cycle of about 40/50k depending on where you are in Dublin, with great scenery, nice descents and fairly okay ascents!

    City centre to Rathmines, out through Terenure , templeogue village, out Tallaght by- pass , out the Blessington road, in blessington you have choice of going out to valleymount and around lakes, beautiful scenery, which brings you back to blessington and back to city centre. Or in blessington take left turn in village, go across bridge and take left turn, eventually brings you back on to main road back to Tallaght, about 3 different options. You could do a 50 to 60 km or going around lakes would bring it up to 75 to 80 km.
