Mizen to Malin Cycle Challenge

 

 

 

 

 

 

9th – 15th April  2011  – Completed, with lots of fun!

A  fully supported point-to-point road tour journeying the entire length of Ireland, from Mizen Head in County Cork to Malin Head in County Donegal beginning on the 9th of April and returning home on the 15th of April.  Travelling through some of the most beautiful countryside in Ireland.  Cycling the length of Ireland, from the most southerly tip to the most northerly tip is an amazing accomplishment: tough but achievable.

 The terrain ranges from undulating to hilly with some steep and demanding climbs.  Each day is on-road and although many roads are in fair condition you should expect some potholes and poor surface conditions on certain sections.  This ARC Challenge is suitable for fit and confident riders.
