The new book details - in over 120 pages - the best climbs and cycling roads in Munster, adding a fantastic resource for cyclists looking to explore beyond their traditional stomping ground or for those new to the sport.
All roads lead to the Republic's second city of Cork next Tuesday when a new book on Munster's best cycling routes will be officially launched.
Olympic silver medallist and Irish Sports Council chief John Treacy will launch Dan McCarthy's new book at Café Velo on George's Quay in the city.
The launch gets underway at 6.30pm - on Tuesday, April 5th - so pop along if you are in the area.
'Cycling Munster, Great Road Routes' is published by Collins Press and offers a forensic guide over 128 pages to the best climbs and most scenic, testing and gentlest routes.
So it has something to offer every cyclist, irrespective of ability, experience or goals.
Collins Press has said of the new book: "With routes spanning the province, this guidebook is all you need to explore the highways and byways of Munster – on two wheels.
"Each route is prefaced with summary information and illustrated with a custom-drawn map and gradient graph.
"Routes are arranged by difficulty, from the gentlest, shortest circuits in Cork, through Tipperary, Limerick and Clare, to the thigh-burning Ring of Kerry, and Waterford’s Copper Coast and Grand Vee.
"Cycle stunning coastal roads on the Wild Atlantic Way. Challenge yourself on mountain passes.
"Pedal through tranquil woods and lakesides, charming towns and villages. Discover routes to suit all abilities and many hidden gems."
Sounds like a winner to us, we'll bring you a review as soon as we can.
Good night in store next week. https://t.co/VW8CC2hMGr
