Bike tours
Roadconditions The bigger roads are of good quality, there are some km of highways around the bigger cities, then there are good two to four lane roads between the bigger cities and normal main roads between the small cities. But these are all not to interesting for ATiCs - the good thing are the tousands of small narrow country roads with small stone walls on both sides, potholes, asphalt or gravel - just great ! There are may possibilities to drive offroad as well (for exemple inch beach) but take care of the nice Landscape and the animals and people living there ! Drive on the left side of the road ! (absolutely
no problem to get used to !!!). Most of the cars use high beam all the
time at night, when there is a two lane road (one in each direction) there
might be a stopping/safety lane on the side which lorry drivers use if
you are overtaking them.
There are speed limits (I think around 90 outside villages) but the smaller the road is the less people follow it - but remember just drive as fast as you feel save (saw once a speed check) ! On the countryside drivers use to greet
each other and let the other pass or cross as easy as possible.
The best time of the year to visit Ireland
is June/Juli when it is mostly sunny in many parts of the country.
