    I used to do it every week, it takes about 90 minutes. Road is pretty crap, but once you get used to it, you get to know where you can overtake.
    Kells to Ardee is probably the worst part. Or Mullingar to Delvin....

    It took me 90 minutes to get from Mullingar to Dundalk on a Sunday with very little traffic.

    Its over 90km. Were you really expecting to be able to average over 90km/h on a road which passes through numerous villages?

    So you'd know that its utterly impractical to do 90km in 60 minutes on a secondary road that goes through numerous villages.
