The Burnin Burren - 155km
Leaving Ballyvaughan we head out the Galway Road through Bellharbour and up the first climb - Ballaghdine - short @ 500m in length but with a gradient of 10% it will pinch the legs - on up the new line and to Boston and into the foot of Glann Hill . Several switchbacks and short enough at 3km but worth it for the view at the top - into Carron, down Ballyalban and into the base of the Corkscrew Hill The road surface is good and you should glide up it - you can look forward to a well earned break in Lisdoonvarna afterwards. After tea we head down into Doolin and turn left for the bottom of last years dreaded Castle Hill - its 26% at its worst but short! - at the top turn right and over the Cliffs of Moher with a descent into Liscannor - turn left outside the village and up Doonagore - 5km of slow drag - at the top hard right and a long descent into the outskirts of Lahinch - sharp left and 1 km to a right over the bridge and into Ennistymon - left and 1km right into Kilfenora and onto Lisdoonvarna for 2nd foodstop. Back out to Doolin and this time we turn right and head home by the coast road. Food stop 1 @ 65km Food stop 2 @ 120km - a 101.7 mi cycling route in Gaillimh, Ireland
