Question
I have a month to take off and travel. I am contemplating going to ireland and cycling. This would be for the month of November and I am curious as to how realistic this is due to the weather. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Hi Benjamin,
November would be a crazy month to go on a cycle tour around Ireland due more so to the short evenings than the weather. Certainly you can cycle for stretches of the day but it will be dark come 5-6PM; earlier if it's dull or wet so long distance cycling for pleasure won't be a good call.

Expertise
I am one of two Ireland Expert's on this site resident in the country and and a citizen of Ireland. I have travelled all over Ireland and I have been in every county at least once and have seen a lot of what happens in this country. A lifelong resident of Dublin, I know the city very very well and have seen all sorts of interesting nuggets and corners; wee shops in funny places and pubs that have the best beer and food. I also write table and pub quizzes so I know a little bit about everything, so to speak, including some of the quirky stuff! If it's about Dublin, I'll be hard pressed not to know something about it; the pubs, sights, history, stories and more so try your luck on me!
Experience
I have been working as a taxi driver for several years so I know every nook and cranny of Dublin. As somebody who studied media, I am also interested in transport and current affairs and am passionate about Ireland, Irish affairs and Irish life. I've traveled the country over the years and have seen many of Ireland wonderful sites and sights, some well known; others less so!
I've also done some tour guide work taking people around the country so I'm well travelled and well sussed as to what's where.
Education/Credentials
I have an Irish Leaving Certificate; I also undertook the first year of a H Dip in Radio with Journalism, so it goes without saying that my communication skills are up there.
While I lack latin certs on my wall, life experience has left me with a lot of common sense experience that no institution can teach you.
