What are the best websites for cycling events?

Just wondering which website(s) are the best to hear of up coming organised cycling events? I'd like to do some in the Munster area before the end of the month.

In Munster you have the Sean Kelly Tour on the 24th. The Comeragh CC Leisure Cycle (Nice coastal route) is on the day before on Saturday 23rd.

This coming Saturday Comeragh CC are also hosting the latest Sean Kelly Tour training spin, 50 miles (all levels catered for). Details on our site www.comeraghcc.com

I thought there was a sticky on this forum for it, but I don't see it there now. Does anybody else know if it's moved home?

I'll bet it's in the wiki!

Ah tis indeed! http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/Events-Cycling - but there's isn't much on it

Reason I started this thread was because was in LBS yesterday and the owner mentioned that there was a Tour of Munster on somewhere... and I wanted to a way to find out about all the upcoming tours so I wouldn't miss 'em.

Ah dang it. That looked kinda cool, would have entered if I knew it was coming up.

Yeah that's not bad, still not the definitive list it'd be nice to have though. (e.g. Tour of Munster isn't on that list nor Tour of Kildare)

Pj!

Just slightly off topic. For all these events, is a helmet required to compete? I'm only new to cycling and have not a helmet yet but just wondering does everyone wear one on events???

Thanks.
