That's more like 240m. End to end 400m is where I'm at for now.
Martin? You know you want to!

Also suggest the Tour of Wessex as a warm up 24/25/26 May
And maybe do the end to end first week of July... best weather and kids at school.
Lets work with the date.... week commencing Monday 23 to Sunday 29 June.
Logistics say south to north. Flying both ways. Bike boxes taken by 'a man with a van'. We travel light as tourers.
Looking at flight details:
Tuesday 24 June / Stansted 9.15 - Cork 10.40 / 85mins / £93 booking asap
Man with a van to transport bike boxes to northern destination / cost and logistics tbc
Sunday 29 June / Derry 17.25 - Stansted 18.45 / £44 booking asap
Still up for it?
As a rough guide the route may be as follows:
RIDE DAY 1 - Cork to Tralee via Bantry (115m).
RIDE DAY 2 -Tralee to Galway via Kilrush crossing the river Shannon (115m).
RIDE DAY 3 - Galway to Sligo via Castlebar (110m).
RIDE DAY 4 - Sligo to Derry (95m).
Might be a tad ambitious... might be more relaxed doing 80-90 a day.
Check out the map, because of logistics it may be better not to ride exactly end to end - more Cork to Derry.
