Navigation is relatively straightforward however some of the route involves riding at night with places to stop for food and drink becoming limited. Carrying adequate provisions to ensure you don’t get stuck will be essential.
The route leaves Dublin heading north-west to Cavan, before turning south-west to Athlone, south toward Cashel and Clonmel and onto Waterford, before then turning toward Wexford town and then north back to Dublin via Bunclody and Baltinglass.
