Today we take on the Wicklow Mountains in a large figure-of-eight route, tackling some of the region’s iconic climbs and enjoying its breathtaking scenery. We'll cross the legendary Sally Gap, and circle the Bohernabreena lake, and descend into the stunning Glendalough Valley. Expect challenging ascents, sweeping views, and a day to remember in the heart of Ireland's most scenic cycling country.

Please wear a helmet and bring a tube etc in case you get a puncture.
