30 Days Cycling the World’s Longest Coastal Route // World Bicycle Touring Episode 23

Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way is a 1,600 mile route that follows the western coast of the country from Kinsale in the south to Derry in the north. The route winds in and out of almost every cove and peninsula, guaranteeing a near constant procession of spectacular landscapes. We rode 1,200 miles of the route over about 30 days in April and early May, camping the majority of the time. Wind and rain challenged us constantly, but the majestic scenery and Irish hospitality kept us in great spirits for the entire ride!

This is episode 23 of our around the world bicycle touring series – so far we’ve ridden over 12,000 miles since May 2021, check out past videos if you want to see how we got to Ireland! Full playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLuZ8k06nBHJVDqcYqeV91iduJGjqokfA
