Cookstown to Rosslare suggestions.

All

Going up to Cookstown next weekend to watcgh some proper racing. It's all a bit last minute as someone has dropped out of group of my buddies and I've taken their place.

Anyway, these guys thing that motorways are the best way from A to B but I'm going to show them that there is another world away from big roads.

We are going to run down from Cookstown to Rosslare on Sunday so has anyone got a half decent route down? I've been down through the Wicklow mountains a few times so want to show them that so any suggestions gratefully received.

Depending on how much time you have, you could head west from Cookstown for a spin over the Sperrin mountains. (http://www.discovertyroneandsperrins.com/attraction/sperrins-scenic-driving-routes/)
The R700 from Kilkenny to New Ross is a lovely ride. Scenic, and twisty.

Avoid Dublin - unless you're in a hurry & even then avoid morning & evening peaks.
I picked Kilcock as a random intermediate target - N11, N80, N81 Naas(crowded), Trim, Navan, Kingscourt, Castleblaney, Armagh, Cookstown are rough guidelines.
If more time bend further to West.

Or a slight variation on the middle bit, Armagh, Monaghan, Ballybay, Shercock, Bailieborough, Kells, Trim, etc. Some lovely roads on that part.
