Jim Craig n myself did this yesterday...g8 charity to support, lovely route with excellent marshalling and nice soup n sambos at the end. We even spotted (in full sky kit) and rode up to Nico Roche on d Wicklow mts for a few moments ! Was s tough route for me as be on off bike all yr....started with sore throat...by evening I could barely talk..worth d risk.....great day on d bike ! Recommend it for next yr !
