the Wild Atlantic Way
Riding through Ireland invites you into a land of sweeping coastal routes, verdant hills and dramatic sea‑cliffs along the Atlantic. Over 6 days and roughly 1900 km, the three of us journeyed through this Celtic island, tracing parts of the famed Wild Atlantic Way and winding roads where the landscape opens up in unexpected ways.
The video below presents a full report of the ride, showing the route, scenery and experiences from start to finish. In the sections that follow you’ll find the full route and downloadable GPS tracks.
A warning for viewers: one of the riders had a motorcycle accident during the trip, which is shown in the video.
