点评:I was attending the IAAT Adventure Tourism Conference at Westport, and chose a ride along the Great Western Greenway for the activity day.
Myself and 25 other delegates were coached to Westport Bike Hire where Declan got us all on to suitable bikes with helmets. I’d requested an ebike and so I had a very nice mid-drive Trek. Panniers were an option, but I didn’t need one.
My bike was absolutely spot on mechanically and in every other way
Being a large group, we had the affable Aiden as our guide…I would say that this made a big difference with a large group…
Now, the weather was awful but still, we all had great craic. I particularly enjoyed the detour to Nevins !
I would comment that the Great Western Greenway (despite the claim of 42 Traffic Free Kilometres) actually has a couple of stretches on the road, and also crosses the main road at one point. Hopefully further developments will resolve this issue, in the same way that I hope will happen with the 300mtr stretch where the Carlingford Lough Greenway share the road outside Omeath. No reflection on Westport Bike Hire….
I’ll come back and do it again next year, and will have no hesitation in choosing Westport Bike Hire again
翻译:我当时正在韦斯特波特参加IAAT探险旅游大会,并选择了沿着大西部绿道骑行作为活动日。
我和其他25位代表被安排到韦斯特波特自行车租赁点,在那里,德克兰帮我们每个人都租到了合适的自行车,并戴上了头盔。我预订了一辆电动自行车,所以租到了一辆非常棒的中置电机Trek自行车。车上可以加装驮包,但我不需要。
我的自行车机械性能和其他方面都完美无瑕。
由于我们人数众多,所以由和蔼可亲的艾登担任我们的向导……我认为这对人数众多的团队来说至关重要。
虽然天气很糟糕,但我们仍然玩得很开心。我尤其喜欢绕道去内文斯!
我想指出的是,大西部绿道(尽管号称有42公里无车路段)实际上有几段路与公路重合,而且在某个地方还与主干道交叉。希望后续进展能解决这个问题,就像我希望卡灵福德湖绿道(Carlingford Lough Greenway)在奥米斯(Omeath)郊外与道路共用的那300米路段也能得到妥善解决一样。这与韦斯特波特自行车租赁公司(Westport Bike Hire)无关……
明年我还会再来,而且肯定还会毫不犹豫地选择韦斯特波特自行车租赁公司。
