3.9km? That's got to be a typo, surely. Not much of a sportive if it's over in 8 minutes.

Insert a space between the full stop and the distance and it makes more sense. There are 3 options:
1. 15km
2. 40km
3. 90km

I'm in. Seeing as it's local.

Is this Kilkenny -> Carlow -> Kilenny because all that suggets just Kilkenny to Carlow however that can't be 90km?

90km Sportive Kilkenny – Carlow - out and back spin €25

It'll probably be 45km up and 45km back (so not all the way to Carlow).

I might be on for this if I can work out the logistics of getting there. Would be nice to get more info about food stops etc..

Thanks - missed that out & back bit on the poster. That would suit me more. Will have to see if I can get down for that one then

Was sorry I missed the Waterford one when it was on when they were opening that section but just didn't suit.

Cycled from Danesfort to end of motorway it was 61.5 km up and back.

Aquos76

So where are they possibly getting the 90km distance from so

john__long

I'll be heading to it with one of my buddys.

Just got me a Giant Defy 4 so must get some milage up on it!

Plus from hall and back to reg approx another 3 to 4 km

Will this be a hammerfest or just a casual ride? Don't think I'll be able to make it as I have to head to Sligo (strangely late start time btw), but if there's talk of a hammerfest goin on I may just have to find a way

ashleey

I'm still in the mood for a thrash after the sky ride and seeing as it starts so late it will have to be a hammerfest or my wife will kill me for not doing enough childcare when she gets back from work

I'll be doing this toaday if the weather is not too wet & windy.
First "proper" spin with my son.
I'll be wearing the new boards.ie kit... say hello

ashleey

The weather is a bit damp, but its not raining too much and given that its a new road I'm expecting that we don't get sprayed in mud and cow sh*t.

Did this go through Naas ? Saw a large number of cats cycling through the town at around 13:00 today

Think there was a group of people from Kilkenny cycling up to Dublin for the match tomorrow.

Captain Havoc

There was a crowd cycling up to Dublin. Were they on high nellies this year or on normal(ish) bikes?
