WOonderful route. I rode this in the autum when it was really quiet and was so impressed that I have friends coming from England to cycle N Ireland in August and just had to have this ride included in the route. Lovely coffee stops along the way makes it a really good day out
I cycled this route (93) this morning and I really enjoyed it, although it was only from Mossley Mill to Belfast and back it was idyllic and next time I'm bringing a camera.
brilliant scenary, nice biking experience, very enjoyable!
