The 'Wild Atlantic Way' isn't specifically a bike route. It's a concept, a marketing strategy, a branding of an already existing route.
It's been very successful and other areas and 'routes' are now being given the marketing make-over.

you guys know I was kidding right? I rode once down the west of the States, Oregon and Cali. and the "coastal" road often had some real steep climbs every time a river came out to the ocean, a steep down and a steep climb up again...I suspect the landscape here is the same, constant ups and downs, and short steep stuff.
am I wrong?

Toured Ireland just before the euro became the national currency....
Man, that placed has changed a lot since then, especially for the daily budget. But one thing remains the same....the Irish are the friendliest people I've ever met anywhere.
