Itinerary description
|
Two-day bike ride through southern Wexford County, Ireland.
Due to the Coronavirus alarm state, the hotels are closed, so I spent the night on the quiet Windy Gap beach (km116) very close to the town of Fethard.
Most of the journey runs through small local roads with very little traffic. From Rosslare Harbor (km27) to Ballyhack (km150), follow the perfectly marked "Eurovelo1 - Norman Way" route. Then continue north to the city of New Ross.
Btt in Ireland
In Ireland the field is private and there are almost no dirt tracks, the few that are are private and many are usually closed to the public. I have been kicked out several times in a very friendly way. It is true that there are some Trail Centers and Bike Parks where you can enjoy mountain biking, but they are scarce.
The best option, without a doubt, are the small local roads, to enjoy the beautiful Irish landscape. They are practically paved rural tracks, with little traffic and usually with a small strip in the center of moss or grass, they are narrow almost two cars do not pass.
In the Republic of Ireland there are four types of roads identified by a letter:
M - Motorways, multi-lane highways per direction, cycling is not permitted. With enough traffic.
N - National roads, roads in good condition, normally one lane in each direction but with a large shoulder, much larger than Spanish roads. With enough traffic.
A - Regional roads, one-lane roads in each direction, usually with lines and with a very small or non-existent shoulder. With average traffic normally.
L - Local roads, local roads with little traffic, usually without lines and in not very good condition. Generally, the more numbers you have, the closer and in worse condition it will be. These are ideal for cycling, from my point of view, since they are very quiet and have spectacular views.
Personally seeing that there were not many tracks in the country, I decided to bring my old mountain bike that I had converted to a hybrid for use in the city, and it was clearly a success. The rigid frame, hybrid tires and lockable fork are perfect for driving on small Irish roads. Although the best option is a gravel bike.
REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE ON THE LEFT! :)
