...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The route will part of the Connemara Greenway, which is to run from Galway and Clifden, and part of the EuroVelo 1 Atlantic Coast route between Norway and Portugal.

A number of in-person consultation events are to take place next week:

  • Killannin Community Centre, Rosscahill, Co. Galway
    Tuesday 16th May 2023 – 12:00-20:00
  • Oughterard Community Centre, Main Street, Oughterard 
    Wednesday 17th May 2023 – 12:00-20:00
  • Human Biology Building Atrium – South Campus, University of Galway, Galway City
    Thursday 18th May 2023 – 12:00-20:00

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
