Touring - Eire: Southern Ireland

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
On monday 28th may I sail to the Isle of Man and then on the 1st June I should be sailing to Eire.
Is anyone there?
I am a short fat hairy 58 yar old on a Thorn with BOB trailer, so please smile and say hello as you go past me.
cheers

Have fun, George! We'll be about the same latitude, but I'll be to the west of you up in Michigan.

jibj. You have studied your routing. I was there last November. Dublin is really congested. Rural roads are often busy and no shoulders. I am sure bike maps can get you around such areas.

Hi
At the moment my plans are Slea head, Ring of Kerry, Cork, Cliffs of Moher
Gap of Dunloe, Connor pass, Wicklow, Louth
Not necessarily in that order of course!!
But for a pint of Smithwicks I would cycle a thousand miles of broken glass, I have Marathon XR's, so it would be OK
