Something for everyone on this nice circular exploration of this corner of Meath/Cavan.

Starts off with an a undualting run along the Kells to Oldcastle road, usually relatively light traffic, with some lovely stretches. We continue to follow the regional road to virginia wiht more rolling hills. Then off piste, through Cavan backroads before crossing the kells kingcourt road for a challenging hill at Screebogue.

We can refuel at Carlanstown before a nice flat stretch avoiding the main roads all the way back to kells with the final stretch past the manicured lawns of the Headfort golf club.
Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see?
