The Atlantic breaking against Ireland's west coast

Home Routes

The routes.

Five runs. Drawn by people who ride them in February, not by a marketing department with a map and a highlighter.

Self-guided, not un-guided.

You get the GPX on your phone before you fly, a paper roadbook in the pannier, beds booked at places that will let a wet biker in at nine, and a number that a human answers. Then you're on your own, which is the entire point.

Every route starts at a base we operate. Finish wherever you like.

Route 01 · Signature

The Wild
Atlantic Way

Malin Head to Kinsale down the whole ragged western edge of the country. 2,500 kilometres, nine days, and roughly four hundred reasons to stop. The longest defined coastal route on earth and the reason most people first ring us.

What you actually get

No app. No group.

We are not going to make you ride in formation behind a man with a flag.

01

The roadbook

GPX and a printed book. Fuel stops, the two places the road surface turns nasty, and where to eat that isn't a garage.

02

The beds

Booked before you land, all of them fine with a soaked rider at nine at night, most with somewhere dry to put the bike.

03

The bag

Optional: leave the big bag with us and we'll move it ahead each day. Ride with a tank bag and nothing else.

Weather warning

It will rain.
Come anyway.

Nobody ever came back from Ireland talking about the four dry days. Pack the liner, take the coast road, and let it happen.
