The Routes

Our routes are graded as Easy, Moderate or Hard, to suit your interests and abilities. They have been designed to take in the highlights of the Lough Derg area while avoiding busy roads wherever possible. See below for places to visit, and our favourite routes that have been programmed into a GPS device, available for you to use during your eBike hire.

GarryKennedy

Garrykennedy is approximately 12 km from Nenagh town and is a very quaint village with a lovely forest walk, great views of the lake, fishing, an ancient castle and a wonderful eatery.

Dromineer

Why not take a tour to see the old castle in Dromineer, or the old church and graveyards. Perhaps you will find some of your ancestors on your travels? When done with that enjoy a coffee and food at the local eateries.

Killaloe

Killaloe was once the capital of Ireland, being home to the famous High King Brian Boru. We offer tours from Nenagh to Ballina and Killaloe, as well as the 'Three Counties Loop' which starts and ends in Ballina.

Silvermines

Silvermines is a beautiful town at the foot of the Silvermines Mountains. It is so-called because (as you may have guessed) there were once silver mines here, along with mines for other metals. Our Silvermines tours take you into the town, and for the experienced cyclist up into the hills behind the town.

Cloughjordan

Cloughjordan is a historic town which is reachable by quiet (and mostly flat) roads from Nenagh. At Cloughjordan you can enjoy a coffee, take in a woodland walk and visit the Eco Village.
