Day Two: Tuesday 12th July Return to Dublin (125km)
For the second day the cycle will take a different route back to Dublin. This route will be a little hillier as it will run through the beautiful Wicklow Mountains National Park. For the more experienced cyclist there will be an option to tackle Sally Gap, one of the country’s highest roads.
The rides will be fully supported with guides, mechanics and back up vans. Lunch will be provided in a pub at just over halfway and feeding stations will be along the route
