    I would agree especially the first one.

    The Coast rd in Waterford from Tramore to Dunmore East is Just fantastic on a summer morning and then on to Passage with church hill in Dunmore as a masochistic option!
    The balloch oisin pass in kerry is fantastic as well but my favorite route at the moment starts at my front gate and goes 14 km offroad and comes back out on the road 1km from where I started the only tracks on the trail are mine from the last time. Pure magic

    Out from Ardara up the Glengesh to Glencolmkill, a quick mug of t then lash up the Nire Valley and loop back past Mahon Falls. Need a banana about here. Clip back in outside Foxy Johns, leg it out past Baile an Féirtirigh, down past Dún Chaoin and with the setting sun our your back tell the other half to pick you up outside Foxy's at 1am. She'll never believe the day you just had!

    Drove through Do Lough Pass and surrounding areas earlier this year. Spectacular!

    The other road to leenane from Westport via Tourmakeady along the shore of Lough Mask leads you to this
    Lough Na Fooey

    Road runs on right of the lake. then climbs between the hills at the far end and brings you down into the Maam Valley a few km away from leenane

    Waterville - Baligasheen - Glencar - Glenbeigh - Cahirciveen - Waterville. The descent from Baligasheen to Glencar and around the lakes was a real highlight for me this year. As others have said, the coast road around Ballyvaughan - Black head - Cliffs of Moher is also a breathtaking spin. Coming from Dublin, Wicklow is my regular stomping ground, but the Military road from Sallygap to Laragh is also amazing, as is Sally gap - Seefin - Sehan - Bohernabreena.
