Giro veloce in bici da Foxrock a Sandyford

Kick off your ride in leafy Foxrock, a well-heeled south Dublin suburb known for its tree-lined streets and tranquil vibe. Head northwest, weaving through peaceful neighbourhoods before joining a few dedicated cycleways—perfect for relaxed pedaling. You’ll mainly stick to paved and asphalt surfaces, so it’s smooth sailing, though watch for occasional stretches of concrete or older paving.

There’s a gentle climb—around 65 meters in ascent—so expect some mild hills, but nothing a steady pace can’t handle. About halfway, the scenery opens up and you’ll catch glimpses of Dublin’s distant skyline as you skirt the edge of Kilgobbin. The route is blissfully light on busy roads; most of the way rolls through cycle paths and quiet streets.

Arriving in Sandyford, you’ll find a bustling business district and plenty of cafes to refuel. Fun fact: Sandyford was once a small village but is now a major hub for tech and business in Dublin. All told, this 6.4 km spin is ideal for anyone looking for a scenic, straightforward ride between two classic Dublin suburbs.
