Cycle to Glendalough over the Sally gap

Distance: –90 km
Climbing: ~1,350.

A proper Wicklow day out!—today we cycle the high country over the Sally gap and the Glenmacnass valley.

We roll out from the city at 845am and head up to Glencree and onto the Military Road, then crossing the exposed beauty of the Sally Gap.
From there, it’s a rewarding run down the stunning Glenmacnass valley to the Glendalough Cafe.
We then head back over undulating hills to Eniskerry and then on to Dublin.
Expect long, steady climbs; you’ll need a reasonable level of fitness—this is a 90 km spin with serious elevation. The reward is some of Ireland's best cycling scenery and quiet roads once we leave the suburbs behind.

Bring: Good legs, plenty of snacks, and layers—the Gap can be exposed.
A tough but very rewarding spin—perfect if you’re looking to stretch yourself a bit and enjoy the Wicklow Mountains at their best.

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

Please note - It is every participant's responsibility to ride safely, follow the rules of the road, and come prepared with the proper equipment.
