Galway is the start/end point of EuroVelo 2. The route is fully developed between Maynooth, to the west of Dublin, and Athlone. This section follows the Royal Canal Greenway and the Old Rail Trail Greenway for over 100km. West of Athlone the route is still under development. When completed the route will be traffic free for all of its length.
Note: Prior to the full traffic free route being completed it is possible for experienced cyclists to self-navigate between Dublin and Maynooth and Athlone and Galway using existing infrastructure and quiet roads. Contact the NECC for GPX file with suggested routes.
