    Anyone know the route that for the Tour de Burren 100km takes.

    Might be up that way in a couple of weeks.

    Have tried everywhere including their website but no luck.

    Thanks. I tried searching within Strava but got nowhere and I put that down to not having a paid subscription.


    However doing a google search for “Tour de Burren site:Strava.com” gives me a lot of hits.


    Thanks again

    It's been a few years since i struggled around the Burren, i remember some very sketchy roads and the constant wind.

    To put it kindly it's " character building" https://ridewithgps.com/routes/1333788

    Corkscrew hill is in there somewhere, its a brute, gallows hill is another one, it's a wall.

    Fyi - The route you are trying to view is not public is the message one gets when trying to click that ridewithgps route.

    Well I did it. 104km. What a beautiful day for a cycle. Scenery either side of Ballyvaughan was spectacular.

    I didn’t find it particularly tough but I was keeping the pace fairly light given the heat. Also did it anti-clockwise which probably made Corkscrew Hill a lot lot easier. Will have to do it the other way next time. Roads a bit lumpy but still a great route.
