ROUTE 8 KNOCKADOON CHALLENGE (63 KM)
This is a favourite among the members in the Youghal Cycle Club it offers spectacular scenery, a fair bit of challenge and a lot of fun. You take the N25 road out of Youghal for two kilometres and then turn left on the R633 for Ballymacoda but at the T Junction turn right for Ladysbridge where you take the road towards Cloyne. Carry on straight on this road until you reach the corner for Ballymaloe House, www.ballymaloe.ie renowned for its fine food. At Ballymaloe House you turn left for Shanagarry and continue straight ahead until you reach Garryvoe. At the Hotel www.garryvoehotel.com , turn right and immediately left onto the coast road, heading towards Knockadoon. This is all along the coast until you reach a T Junction where you turn right for Knockadoon. Here, you can almost touch Capel Island. Then head back to Ballymacoda, turn right immediately after you leave Ballymacoda and you are back on the R633 and heading back to Youghal.
