Take on the challenge of the Tour de Beara – one of Ireland’s most rewarding cycling sportives - to discover the delights of the Beara peninsula.
The not-for-profit, community-run event, formerly known as The Rebel Tour, has established itself as one of the most popular and scenic one-day sportives in the country, and competition will be fierce for its limited places.
The Tour de Beara’s three routes offer great experiences for cyclists of all abilities, introducing them to the colourful villages and dramatic ocean views this unspoilt West Cork peninsula is renowned for.
The 160km circular route begins in the scenic coastal village of Glengarriff, and a stiff ascent over the Caha Pass delivers spectacular views across Bantry Bay. Cyclists will pass through a series of beautiful hand-hewn rock tunnels that take them across the border into County Kerry, before returning to the wilds of West Cork.
Even on a day when the peninsula will be humming with cyclists, there will be time to soak in its peaceful silence and enjoy its rugged terrain.
