The Docman was out on the bike yesterday and recorded the 70k route on his Garmin, as followed:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/92660421
Just note that the start and finish, is at the Kilkenny Rugby Club (on Waterford Rd, just outside the City) and not per the Garmin route above.
In case you're wondering, the Woodstock climb is not part of this route!

Looking forward to doing the tour this year, will be my first shot at it. Was out for a 75k spin with a few mates lastnight along some of the route. We went through graiguenamanagh along to inistioge, that hill from graiguenamanagh is a nice drag, must be 20 mins of climbing at least! Managed to avoid the woodstock climb though!
I havn't done over 100k on the bike yet, so think ill stick with the 110k, but feeling really tempted to go for the 160k. I'll see how training goes over the next month, whats the verdict on the 160 route? Is it manageable for a relative newbie to long distances?0 -

From what i've read, I would go with the 110k - I've only done 1 sportive of 100km and wanted to do the 160 but think that TdK isn't one to test your distance but more your climbing. Also 'cause I have the SK and don't want to completely f**k myself over 1 month before!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yup xz, there will be sign-on on the day.
Registration will be open at the Rugby Club (Waterford Road) on Friday evening from 7pm til 9pm. Then the following morning registration will re-open from 7am til 8:30am, and roll-out will be at 9am. All details here
Obviously, as with all such events, we'd love as many people as possible to pre-register on-line so that we'll have a reasonable idea of numbers. Also, only pre-registered victims riders are assured goodie-bags, the rest will have to fight for them
Aside: Two weeks from today it'll be all done and dusted for another year and I hope to be waking up with a hangover, rather than with the headache I currently have at the thoughts of having to spray arrows on over 160km worth of roads.......0 -
