Cooley Peninsula Greenway
By John McE Searching for Greenways on the Cooley Peninsula I had the pleasure of riding on the Cooley Peninsula Greenway recently, a few days prior to the official opening of the latest section. The only dampener was, well, the damp, as the weather was atrocious on the day with strong winds and monsoon-style rain. Nonetheless, it’s a brilliant area, with beautiful routes, and I’m keen to explore further. My journey started at Strandfield House , possibly the best café in

Tour de Beast - 2026
420 years ago, St. Garabaldi jogged up 69 peaks, and returned with the Strava Route on Stone Tablets. Every year, we ride The Beast to reflect upon his guidance. The final In-Forum-al spin of the year is the Tour de Beast. The Tour de Beast is to celebrate the end of the Summer. In years gone by, we used to have a group dinner to celebrate, hence what the WhatsApp Group is for. So if anyone wants to organise the dinner, that'd be nice. The route is the start of the Randonée.

What a great way to finish the Paths to Peaks programme after a twelve week training block that culminated in the Orwell’s rocking all over the roads and byways of counties Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow on Saturday.
