I closely follow ‘The Wild Atlantic Way’ tourist route from Limerick to Sligo.

#66 The South Coast of Ireland
After a 5-week break from cycling, I set off on my eBike from County Wexford in the South-east of Ireland to begin a ‘clock-wise’ tour of the island, more-or-less hugging the coastline on Eurovelo 1 and the Wild Atlantic Way to Kerry and Limerick.
#65 The Irish sea
I tour through the western edge of Snowdonia National Park to Caernarfon and across Anglesey Island to the ferry at Holyhead. After spending a couple of days in Dublin I continue down the east coast of Ireland to Yoletown in County Wexford.
#64 London to Wales
After a week in London I head west back towards Oxford and beyond into Wales through the Brecon Beacons to the Irish Sea coast at Aberystwyth (and if you’re wondering how to pronounce that, its “Aber-ist-with”).
#63 Southern England
By direct route it’s only 100 km from Oxford to London but I wasn’t in a hurry to get there. I’d read that the Cotswolds by bike is a ‘thing’, so I went in that direction. Bath sounded nice too. And Brighton. Planning done.
#62 Norfolk to Oxfordshire
I start off cycling north to Scotland, but halfway there I decide to head south-west to Oxford instead. That’s how things work out sometimes.
#61 Across Belgium
After getting the rear pannier rack replaced in Aachen for the third time, I cross Belgium to catch a ferry from the Hook of Holland to Harwich, England, and cycle on to Norwich.
#60 Netherlands North to South
Well there were still 135 km of Elbe left for me to cycle after Hamburg (making 885 km in total: from Melnik in Czechia – where the Vitava joins the Elbe – to the mouth of the Elbe River at Cuxhaven in the Elbe estuary), so I was not finished with the Elbe yet. And…
#59 The Lower Elbe
I have ridden quite a few river and rail trails in Europe by now, and give me the Loire, Moselle, Rhine, Danube, Main (well, maybe not the Main) and Vitova Rivers, as well as the Fennbahnweg rail trail and Nantes-to-Brest and Rhine-to-Rhone canals, over the Elbe any day. Except for the upper section of the…
#58 The Vitava and the Upper Elbe
The 190 km from Melnik in Czechia to Dresden in Germany is by far the best the Elbe has to offer for cyclists. Add in the 110 km along the Vitava River from Prague and you have 300 km of truly idyllic cycling. Just do it!
