Could you indicate the routes please? thanks.
Hi fran, just added these, sorry for delay.
Hi Donnacha,
Thanks for details of the route. At Diarmuid O’Sullivan’s House & Cars’ Yard do I cycle onto the Currans Road and join the main Castleisland/Farranfore Road or do I cycle on the Tralee Road until the Garden Centre and take a left and join the main Castleisland/Farranfore Road?
Willl be much easier than the Conor Pass Cycle.

Hi Joan, yeah the route takes in ballycarthy and finishes in castleisland again.
Hi Donnacha,
The 80 Km distance which route does it take as I approach #Diarmuid O’Sullivan’s House & Cars’ Yard from Ballyfinnane do I cycle onto the Currans Road and join the main Castleisland/Farranfore Road or do I cycle on the Tralee/Farranfore Road until the Garden Centre and take a left at Garden Centre and join the main Castleisland/Farranfore Road, or do I take a left at # and proceed to Ballycarthy & into Castleisland.
Sorry for being a nuisance but I like to know where I am going.
Many thanks. Joan
Hi Donnacha,
Just to let you know that I completed the Conor Pass Cycle. It was tough but am glad I did it. Looking forward to Cycle Sunday week.
Joan.
Well done Joan, no bother to you! I think everyone that did it found it tought but that only makes the sense of achievement factor afterwards greater. Looking forward to next sunday too!
