The route includes a visit to An Rinn and Old Parish, Waterford's Gaeltacht area, as well as historic Ardmore and the Heritage Town of Lismore. The Community Centre in Knockanore was the newest addition to the tour's legendary food stops. The 50k Kelly Cruise is another popular route for those who may be new to cycling.
