Thanks so much. Jack's journey on the Tour Divide was pretty incredible. He ended up racing it again this year and knocked off I think 5 days from his finishing time! Amazing.

@@seektravelride9870 You done the right thing. That straight 40 I found to be like a religious experience and felt like a buddist monk emerging from a cave at the end. Still, I tip my hat to you because it is a epic journey and to have someone to share it with must be a blessing.

We agree that there are lots of great climbs that we did not mention in this video. The purpose of the video was to showcase the most famous and iconic climbs that someone who visits France once in their life should cycle. Those who are lucky to live in Europe have opportunities to explore lots more.

The reason they are straight is because they were used as tow paths for boats. The boats being pulled by horses. They were effectively the first motorways in Ireland

Was just googling to see if this was do-able in a day, glad to see you made it. Will see how fast I can get to Mullingar first and then do the whole thing. Have a gravel bike and sort of doubting that the 40 tooth is going to give me enough momentum as I'm always spinning out on it

If you are on multiple trains for that journey, it might be worthwhile checking each different train separately. It could be that there is a particular train that does not offer bikes. Not all TGV's for example offer spaces for bikes that are not dismantled.

Wow. That's what I call over packing. Why? Galway to Dublin is a 11h ride. At best of times. Especially with drop bar bikes. You can get food on the way, weather can be well predicted for the one day and you can take train/bus back. Unless it's a 2 day ride and you are actually "bikepacking". (Which never includes backpack). But then the title doesn't make sense. I done the ride in 8h with bus to Galway and ride back overnight, on road bike, with 8L saddle bag for rain/cold time clothes and food frame bag and spares top tube bag. With a dinner 1/3 way in and a pint after midnight, midway. With few friends. Great craic.
@seektravelride9870 11 ай бұрын
We did Dublin to Galway in a day but continued bikepacking further on this trip so this was not a day trip as we continued exploring more of the Wild Atlantic Way afterwards. The extra gear was because of electronics we needed to take with us as well which we couldn't accommodate with our bikepacking bags. We definitely don't recommend long tours with a backpack and switched up to a pannier and rack system afterwards.
