There are an increasing number of cycling enthusiasts in Ireland and McCormack has been reporting on how Ireland looks from the saddle while travelling around the country. His reports have been broadcast daily on Morning Ireland, shown on the webcam for the programme, broadcast on RTÉ News Now plus he was updating Twitter (@cian_mccormack and @morningireland) as he travelled.
Have you heard of Ireland's Ancient East yet? It's the new Wild Atlantic Way - in that its a big tourism campaign enticing thousands of visitors to the East of the country. Great idea for an area which has a lot to offer both Irish and International tourists, as McCormack reported.
He travelled the country in eight days and you can listen back to all of the reports below. How does he feel now with all those miles behind him?
