I did this last year and going to give it a rip again this year, well run event for a great cause, nice food stop in Laragh.

Planning on doing it real handy so if your up for it will be meeting at the sign on location in Blessington for 8.30-8.45 on the road for 9am.

Small cassette will be grand, I've an 11-27, but yeah you might suffer with tyre choice alright, worthy investment picking up a pair of slicks, some deals on in CSS and time abound.

That was a nice event. Did the 50km on the CX bike 2h 6 min. Bit of a headwind for the first few Km, but grand after that.

We orginised and lovely burger after  :)

Didnt fancy the 100km loop, id say it was tough in that win up Sally Gap

Fair play Paul,

Wind was a drag down into laragh and over wicklow gap but other than that was fine.
Small group from work did it so I pottered around with them.

Pity the 50 & 100k laps are seperated so early.
