So I am ready for my trip around Ireland and back home to the middle of Germany.
It is around 4000 km and I have 30 days to complete it.
Start is on Saturday with the flight to Dublin.
Hopefully I will not have all the time headwinds as it the forecast for the first 3 days of my tour.
If I don’t make it around Ireland it will be okay.

One thing about Irish weather forecasts is they are unreliable. Prepare for wind and rain and anything less is a bonus. Great trip have a good one.
You could get the ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland on the way home, cutting out a large section of fairly boring riding and giving yourself more time to enjoy Ireland
Enjoy our beautiful country, I hope to make it out to germany for a cycle too!
I don’t know man… 4.5k of cycling and all you see are the British Isles, the Low Countries and Germany? Bad food, bad weather, mediocre landscapes 😬
It may be an unpopular opinion. But why Irland? I would alternatively recommended Scotland.. Specifically the area around Acharacle and the outer hebrides. Freaking beautiful landscape
What sleeping pad are you running? Sounds lile a great trip, hope you are able to complete the route!

That’s a particularly flat and boring part of England to cycle across… maybe just take a train instead?
I’m in Ireland. Now has strong wind and random rain. I’m expecting it to be gone in the next two weeks. We recently had intense heat and sunshine but the weather has turned wet. Strange for late May. Anyways if you need any tips you can hit us up here. I would recommend a high visibility jacket for the country roads. Especially in low light situations. It’s dangerous.

Random rain. Prepare lol. It is warm though. The humidity in the air is actually challenging for me somewhat. You won’t go cold, I would think. I don’t have my rain cover on now but I’m ready to put it on
