This is a cue sheet for the Day 3 - Iron Donkey Connemara Tour Bicycle Map. You can print it out for later use.

Cumulative Distance Where Notes Direction Elevation
0km 0km Back in Clifden. Take a break or simply continue onto the next loop (the Sky Road loop). SSW 198° 25m
1.24km 1.24km Narrow, winding road out of Clifden - careful S 177° 20m
3.41km 2.17km Continue on the road to Ballyconneely. W 264° 9m
9.65km 6.24km You will likely now have the prevailing winds at your back, or at least off your right shoulder from behind! Sweet sailing down between the coast and a mountain. SSE 144° 11m
22.14km 12.49km Roundstone Roundstone has an "artists" colony or village off the main road. I guess they are known for making Bodhrans. NNE 16m
22.75km 0.62km As you head north again, you begin to pick up a component of a headwind. Still pretty smooth riding along this road. NNW 352° 6m
27.32km 4.57km Take a left onto the "Bog Road". I seem to recall a sign that says it is 13 km to Clifden. The next 8 km are all into tough headwinds! Put your head down and go ... WNW 278° 0m
45.08km 17.75km This road seems to continually climb right out of Clifden until the far reaches of the loop. The road rises much more dramatically at the end too! Expect plenty of wind, but incredible views... NW 304° 112m
52.02km 6.95km This begins a downhill run back into Clifden. This is a main road too - be careful. ESE 111° 31m
54.31km 2.29km Clifden That's the end. Two nice loops - beginning and ending in Clifden. Beautiful views, challenges from headwinds, and some minor hill climbs. SE 127° 35m
