    Hi

    I’m thinking of cycling from Monaghan to Galway for the game in a couple a weeks time.

    Just looking to find out the old road routes ( wat times you hit ) and distance from athlone to Galway or has anyone here done it?

    Thanks in advance

    Can't advise you on route, but cycling through Galway city on a weekend matchday is awful in my experience.

    the most straightforward route from Athlone is the old N6, through Ballinsaloe, Aughrim, Kilreekil, Loughrea, Craughwell, Oranmore. hard shoulder most of the way save for a few km after Aughrim.

    I've not done it myself despite my recurring plans to do so, plenty here have and should be able to help out. works out at about 90km to Eyre square.

    edit...recent thread discussing Athlone to Galway is here

    Would you not be better off going via cavan, Longford and Roscommon rather than due south to Athlone and then due west to Galway?
