Level: Difficult
Distance: 43km (height gain: 1,090m)
This is a very demanding route that tackles one of the longest road climbs in the country. Looping clockwise around Mount Leinster gives you a chance to get warmed up before you start into the 665m climb. The second half of the climb from the Nine Stones to the top is extremely steep (I certainly walked more than I cycled) but the views are excellent. And then it’s downhill all the way back to Bunclody.
Pit-stop: The only stop en route is in the village of Kiltealy, which has two pubs and a small shop, but there are plenty of options at the start in Bunclody.
