    I do a route from the city out by rathfarnham down to Enniskerry on the R115 and take a turnoff on the L202 i think into enniskerry and back to dublin through stepaside etc. think its about 60k round trip


    anyway am looking at bumping that up to 100k so was wondering what is a good extension of this. when i turned off the R115 there was a sign saying 8K to sallygap is there a loop i can do to bring up to 100K?

    Thanks

    Onto Sally Gap and then one of two options
    (1) Descend to Lauragh and then return via Annamoe, Roundwood and Enniskerry
    or
    (2) Descend to Kilbride (Blessington direction) at Kilbride head for Brittas and over Bohernabreena down into Tallaght and onto Rathfarnham.

    The route taken by the Mick Byrne 100k today is a lovely spin. You can pick it up in Kilternan or Enniskerry. If you're coming from town it might be a bit over the 100k but you can cut direct from Roundwood to Laragh via Annamoe which is also a beautiful stretch.

    I did that route this morning starting and finishing in Stepaside, although I went direct from Roundwood to Laragh and I came home via Military Road and Glencullen. Just over 80 km. The extra bit to and from Rathfarnham would bring it close to 100 km.

    Would recommend it highly, particularly early in the morning with foxes and deer about and feck all traffic. The road up from Laragh past Glenmacnass waterfall and on to Sallygap is particularly nice.
