Blue Graded 4-6

Our blue graded trips are aimed at people who regularly enjoy road cycling and may have completed a multi-day cycle tour before. These trips include the occasional day with steeper climbs but with plenty of opportunities to stop and admire the view and take photos.

Harder days are usually followed by much easier ones both in terms of how much distance we cover that day and the number of steep ascents. Most days these trips allow plenty of time for exploring the surrounding area and enjoying relaxed lunches.

Distance typically ranges from 30-50 miles each with rolling terrain. On some days, you can expect some more challenging climbs and steeper descents. But remember, our support minivan will always be available to offer you a ride if you need it.

You will be met by your Wilderness Ireland Guide at Sligo Macdiarmada Train Station at 12:00 on Day 1 of your trip. You will be dropped off at Sligo Macdiarmada Train Station at 13:00 on the last day of your trip.

You can reach Sligo Train Station via a direct service from Dublin. Please contact us for more detailed information on reaching the start of this trip. Alternatively, please see our Travel to Ireland section here.
