    good achievement. What a great thing to do.

    Rain is probably always very likely, cycling so close to the Atlantic.


    Whats the best way to do it, book accomodation in advance , or cycle as far as you can in a day, and hopefully find something locally when you decide to stop for the day ?

    Did you start with a plan ?

    Cycling on a steel workhorse with panniers, and getting average speeds of 28km hour, thats good pedaling compared to the average.

    Hi
    I done it twice in a month last year and learned some lessons.
    First is use B&B accomodation as it is quite at night and they held with an early start for breakfast.
    We done 3.5days and used - Killarney, Oranmore and Mullaghmore.
    If you have a support vechicle and feel good in the evening you can push on and then get ferried back to the B&B. Also if you get a calm day you may want to eat into the next days target.
    Best advice is definitely to avoid busy hotels.

    Does anyone have any advice on how best to transport a bike from cork to mizen? The bus eireann times do not suit. Does anyone know of any private operators?

    Would it be an option to get a bus Eireann to Bantry and cycle the 25 or so miles? How would this fit with your plans . A company called O'Donoghue's also run a bus service to Bantry/Glenngarriff.
