Storage at Belfast Airport/Good routes Round N Ireland

williamac

Am looking to fly into Belfast International Airport with 2 bikes for a 1 week tour round N Ireland. does anyone know of anywhere we can store 2 bike bags for the week?

Any recommendations on routes/places to visit/B&B's - looking to go round the coast north to Giants Causeway but nothing else planned yet

As a starting point: CycleNI website may be useful: http://www.cycleni.com/ with the 'Pedal' brochure good with tourist points marked on routes.

Also Sustrans http://www.sustrans.org.uk/map?key=Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland&type=RG#2510,423837

Also you could use maps that sportives/charity rides use, for example:

Stab in the dark but McConvey Cycles or Bikedock are not far from airport and might be worth a shout to see if they would keep for a small charge

The Finn McCool is a great route but keep to the coast road from Ballycastle to the North West is very scenic. There is numerous B&B's and hostles along the route.

The Glens of Antrim are amazing, The cycle to Murlough Bay is worth the view.

From Ballycastle you will pass Carrick-a-rede rope bridge which is a national trust site and then its 6miles to the Giants Causeway and Bushmills Distillery both well worth the visit.
