CYCLING THE HEALY PASS...UNBELIEVABLE ROADS

  • I've always wanted to cycle some of the famous cycling routes in Europe. I made a mistake in that I didn't look closer to home first. I've now found my favourite cycling route so far. The Healy Pass connecting Cork and Kerry. Roads don't get any better to take your bike on. I just got my new Specialized Tarmac SL8 and this was an epic adventure to get out on it.
    Route: parked in Kenmare and went clock wise around the Beare Pinninusla to Glengarriff, through the Caha pass and up the Healy Pass. 97km in total.

    Hi Derek. I'm the cyclist who fixed Jimmy's bike up on the Caha Pass (just a 5mm allen key). REALLY REALLY glad you two got to finish your ride. My wife, Claire, and I rode a similar circuit both ways that week as we were on hols staying in Glengarriff - truly stunning. Really sorry about your problems getting home.

      Well Jonathan, haha amazing you seen this 🤣 Jimmy was saying it was just the Allen key needed in the end. I thought he said he was missing the bolt so I didn’t even look and flew back for the car. Fair play for sorting him…aw it’s a beautiful spot, my first time on it. Car is still in the garage 😬

      Was great to hear Jimmy got sorted, just wish I found out ten minutes earlier and it would have saved me climbing back up the pass 🤣

    If it’s not the bike it’s the car, least the weather was on your side for the cycle otherwise that might have broken you all together 😂 thankfully you got home in the end. Maybe it’s a sign to not go out in the car or cycle without a breakdown kit 😂

      Savage, it’s a fantastic spot .
      I must look up that route you did. I’m hoping to hit the Conor pass in a few wks.

      @nickyhennessy5463 5 місяців тому +1

      @derekfeehan i started in Glengariff if you get that route on a good day you won't find better . Think its about 2.000 mts of climbing brings you back into Glengariff in the finish
