I'm based in Cork these days.
We get in late, so we might swing by Cork to rebuild the bikes and set off the following day.
rather than the unplesantly busy main road.
Yeah, I've been meaning to change that part of the route, thanks for the tip!
Glengarriff Nature Reserve
Will reroute through it
ring of Kerry
Also, not doing the whole thing, but cutting through the mountains, will I miss much on the northern part of it?
Thanks for the tips!

Not really. The whole west coast is scenic so there'll be plenty to see along the way. Personally I actually prefer the Berra peninsula (the one below the ring of kerry) as it's quieter but can understand that you'd like to do the hills on the ring of kerry peninsula.

Hey, I'm based in Cork these days.
You might be better off heading for Ballinhassig from the airport and taking the back roads due south from there to Kinsale rather than the unplesantly busy main road.
If you can manage a visit/wild camp in Glengarriff Nature Reserve it would be well worth it!
Also, not a concern for you, but you're wise to do the ring of Kerry in a clockwise fashion as the buses go anti-clockwise and will save you some hassle.
Enjoy :)
