    AFAIK it's on the saturday only at 17:00. It's one of the climbs up to Bellewstown, from the Duleek road up to the top through the golf course road.
    It hits 21% close to the top :eek:

    Hi Rob

    Is this a road race on a hilly circuit or a hill TT?

    I have a club competition licence. Can I get a 1 day open race license on the day?

    Is it a long climb? Any maps for it?

    Leinster champs are on the following day but I may have to pop along to this one...

    That is the road if I understand the description right. The only side into Bellowstown that I haven't climbed.

    That looks like the route all right.
    It's a straight hill climb.
    Designed to offer a blow out before the leinster champs the next day.

    Where is the Swords event on the Sunday? The two days aren't linked are they?

    Just to clarify, will this be a few circuits of the hill climb? It's hardly a 2.5km sprint up a hill?

    Hill climbs are normally just one blast up. One I linked above took me 7-8 minutes the other night while on a training spin which is about the same as other hill climbs.
