    Does anyone know the exact route of the TOI when it reaches Cork city on Sunday?
    It looks like it crosses over to the southside but the map on the website is too small and I can't make out where it goes.
    TIA,
    Showry

    Finale is laps around the city with St Patrick's Hill being the best place to watch I'd suggest

    My in-laws are over on the southside though so I figure if it's going near their place I can get a nice roast dinner there and not go too far to watch it. I reckon you'd need to be on Patrick's Hill early enough.
    The (brief) preview in the IT this morning mentioned a hill on the other side of the Lee as well.

    Doesn't look like it goes to the south side at all.

    I was due to go Cork to Killarney on Sunday but now looks like I'll need to rethink that particular plan.

    Funkyzeit, as a matter of interest envy, what kind of speeds would they be doing up Patrick's Hill?

    Not sure of speeds but they'd go u it pretty handy HunnyM. A few straglers at the back last year struggled but the cliche of pro's getting off the bike on Paddy's hill certainly didn't apply last year !
