ok I have couple of Suggestions .... but these circuits may have already been ruled out by the committee ? and have been phased out over the last few years .....

1. The Old Town circuit that we used to use that takes the left up a slight drag off the road to Garristown

2. The Boot Inn Circuit ( this is still used by the ladies ? on the same night ? )

3. The old Balrothary Circuit.

4. The Green Sheds / Warrenstown Circuit. / Mullagh Circuit when available ?
5. Are we using the Corduff Circuit this year ?

All worth considering. The Batterstown ones fell out of favour as they are quite far away for most members (hard to get there for a 7.15 start) but always worth looking at again.
The old Balrothery circuit looks usable now but is a bit shorter.
The Boot inn one was abandoned due to traffic. I did lead car there 2 years ago in the Ladies league and it was quite ropey !
We're using a variation of the Corduff circuit with the diversion we used in the club champs.
Also for the 10 mile TT are using the circuit you suggested last year (I think)

Hey Rob
Which circuit is the 10 mile TT being run on this year ? Last year the circuit was changed at the last minute due to the road works ...

The 10 Mile used to run on a lap of the nags turning left at the top and back round to ballyboughil, but the road is fairly bad there too just before and on the rising left turn back towards Ballyboughil ....this is one lap of the Ballyboughill circuit which we can't use now because of ONE resident ? Is this still the case ?

I did a 10 mile TT with some of lads from just past the brock Inn along the old N2 to the swords / roathoath roundabout and back ... plenty of room and not too much traffic .....

Could you put that on google maps and send it to me ?
I think we're using a circuit from Balyboughal out to the hanging Baskets direction left turn then left again and u turn and back . It's much flatter and will get faster times.

Thats what we used... but I measured it again to make it more accurate on the day ... I marked the road too with paint, but it's prob gone now !!
