Great route - the first 20km is a nice warm up , no climbs . Turning right for Tulla your heading for the Maghera Climb (8km) which consists of a few stretches which can be described as testing but there is relieving stretches , choose your gear early and spin it up. Once you reach the top enjoy the decent , caution on the bends, brake on the straights to control your speed not when your in the bend.
After Tulla your heading for Clooney where you turn right for Crusheen ,this is a rolling 10km and will take a bit out of your legs depending on your pace.
From Crusheen you head for Tubber turning right after Tubber back onto the Old Galway Road turning right for Crusheen again and heading for home,
Very important to fuel all the way around , keep sipping the water! Enjoy!
