What To Expect
Sallins
The Tour begins in Sallins, where trade on the Grand Canal first began when passenger and cargo barges started hauling their horse drawn loads between the small Kildare village and Dublin in 1780. Today Sallins is a bustling inland harbour village with 4 award winning restaurants & bars on the waterfront, and an array of boats, barges, houseboats and a brewery.
The bike tour heads east from Sallins along the Grand Canal Greenway to Ardclough. The route is 10 km along a unique biodiversity corridor. Participants will cycle a total of 20km on the way down and back.
