Great to hear some positive comments.
Anything you'd like to see added to the site?
What did you get up to in Ireland yourself?
Any good sites on cycling in the states, I've a chance to go to New England and I'm very tempted, just down to money.
We stayed in Belfast most nights except one special night in a great B & B on the Antrim Coast.
We were on Belfast harbor, quite a bit of walking around Belfast city itself, and Falls + Shankhill Roads. We stayed quite near Shankhill road.
We love the Antrim coast and were awed by the Giant's causeway.
We also traveled through Derry county, and Donegal. We enjoyed the Loughs and walking around the northern most tip of the island.
We also visited Armagh and St Patrick's church as well as many other historic sites.
We enjoyed the pub experiences, music, and street dances as well.
We started and ended our trip in Dublin. Dublin is interesting and historical, but so crowded compared to the northern counties. However, we enjoyed Trinity and the brewery.
History, culture, unique scenery were all quite enjoyable.
We were quite sad to leave as we felt we barely experienced Northern Ireland or any of the rest of the island.
As far as adding anything to your site, I can't think of anything at this time. My old eyes had some trouble reading it all, due to the colors of the text displayed. I also had difficulty with cutting some of the width when I tried to print some pages.
I realize these are issues that may only effect me, but I thought I mention them.
There are many good sources for US cycle touring. One is
www.adv-cycling.org/
I understand that this site is under construction at present.
They also publish maps, guides, and a magazine called "Adventure Cyclist".
I have used "Bike Riders" and "Michigan Bicycle Touring" for fully supported tours. They are both high quality and comprehensive.
They both charge a good price for their package tours. If you were going to tour in N.E. U.S.A. I suggest you consider Maine and Vermont. I think "Bike Riders" has tour packages there.
U.S.A. can use your tourism dollars, but you might also enjoy Canada, especially N.E. Canada.
