TransAtlanticWay - 1687km Race Route
The TransAtlanticWay is a one stage self-supported road bike ride between Dublin and Cork via The Wild Atlantic Way. A choice of two routes: Cu Culhainn – 2500kms and Setanta – 1700kms with the pounding swell of the Atlantic as your constant companion, you follow the blue zig-zag signposts through seven of Ireland’s westernmost counties and be treated to many of Ireland’s scenic showstoppers, welcoming towns and villages, heritage sites and plenty of unexpected thrills.
During the ride all responsibility lies with the rider, to be totally self-sufficient. There is some help with logistics provided by means of a bag and/or bike box drop at the start, and transfer of bags to the finish.
All riders are given and required to carry a gps tracker which enables friends, family and the ride organisers to follow your progress and is used to validate the time and route. The ride is split into two categories: Solo and Pairs.
