The aim of Lough Derg eBike Tours is to help people to discover the back ways, the roads less travelled and the beauty spots of the Lough Derg Blueway area by eBike. We offer good quality eBikes, whose battery range should ensure (within reason, of course!) that you never run out of juice. And with our pre-mapped routes loaded up on a GPS device you will never be lost. The routes are designed to avoid the traffic-heavy spots while taking you through the pretty villages, lake views and idyllic countryside of North Tipperary and East Clare. I hope you will enjoy discovering Lough Derg! As for my back story, I grew up in north west England, and worked in IT as a programmer, systems analyst and QA tester for 30 years. My career covered the insurance, transport, banking and retail and took me to North America, Asia, Ireland and the UK. Throughout all of this, I always had a love for travel, and loved to discover the 'lesser-known' places, off the beaten path. In recent years, I had bought an E Bike, and fell in love with the idea of being able to continue my quest for the lesser known places. And that pedal assistance from the E bike meant no hill was too intimidating! During the Covid pandemic, in common with a lot of people I came to feel that there was more to life than the corporate world. It had provided me with a steady income and a good lifestyle, but what did I REALLY want to do with my life? In summer of 2022, my wife and I moved from County Donegal to County Tipperary (where we have family connections), and work began on developing Lough Derg eBike Tours.
