A few years ago Annie went to visit Bekah in Galway, and they took a beautiful bike ride through pastures and peat bogs and fishing villages. We didn't do that route because the last third is a repeat of where we'd already biked, but overall it's a more fun ride than the route we took toward Lough Corrib. Anyway, this route. Starts out the same way--from downtown, take Bridge St until it ends, right on R864 for 1 km, continue onto Upper Newcastle Rd for 1 km, join up with N59. Stay on N59 for 9 km, then turn left in Moycullen onto L1320. It ends in 13.5 km at the Spiddal harbor; left onto R336 takes you back to Galway. Soon after the split with R864, you can stay right on Grattan Rd to go along the Claddagh.    Co Galway, Ireland -- 7/20/2014
