It is a truly great route, though the comparison to the ring of Kerry is a bit misleading. The RoK is big easy roads, which are busy. the RoB is smaller roads especially on the North side, which has many tight turns. When I rode it, the road surface was breaking up in the heat (hot summer of 2013). The views are spectacular, but the ride was quite physical.

MUST DO.. Should be RED
