    Meeting on a Sunday morning 10:45am on the 1st of aug at the Luas stop 02 Venue Dublin 1,
    cycling up the canal path to Kilcock, stopping for an energy boost at the 12th lock in Castelknock.
    Then onto the lovely waterside pub in Kilcock, for lunch and a drink, and then returning to Dublin
    Its a cycle going back in time to the 1790s, and as soon as you leave Dublin ie Castleknock
    your straight into the countryside....
    Expect loose gravel, rolling rocks, tree roots, very narrow single track, 40ft deep cuttings, tarmac, hard muck, soft muck, short grass, and dusty trails enroute.
    A good deep tyre tread is advised for this cycle to fend off punctures. PLEASE Bring a spare tube!!!!!
    If you love wildlife, boats, nature, locks, fresh air, the sound of water and peaceful times, then this is a cycle to go for.
    This is a mostly a level cycle as its a canal towpath. but it does climb 247.2feet from Dublin Canal Dock to Kilcock, but this is very very gradual, the biggest climb is from Dublin centre to Cabra,
    These climbs are at the lock gates, so no hills will be enroute.
    The route from Dublin to Kilcock is not a short route by any means but it is very winding & beautiful.

    If you enjoyed the Grand canal cycle please please come along to this one !!!!
    It won't disappoint. It is a 25mile/40.2km cycle eachway, but it really really feels less.
    I have done this Royal Canal end to end for charity last July in 8hrs.42mins averaging 10.5mph
    This is not a race, but we will be averaging at least 7-10mph same as The Grand Canal Cycle. So it is relaxing
    Any questions, please ask me by email from this site,,,, and visit my link if you need to see the map intended........ click below

    Your webpage must have shortened your link so when you copied it over here you only got half of it. Looks like this is the link you need http://www.iwai.ie/maps/royal/index.html
