    Seriously looling at doing this but as this would be my first 100k can you tell is there likely to be a range of abilities doing the 100k. Namely around the 25k ph mark

    No map yet, just a list of places on the route.
    The 50km route takes in Edenderry, Rhode, Rochfortbridge and home to Clonard via Kinnegad. The 100km will start off the same until Rhode but then travels to Croghan, Daingean, Tullamore, Kilbeggan, Tyrellspass and home via Kinnegad. Last year saw over 200 cyclists take part and it was a great day out for everyone. Entry on the day 15 euro with certificate and hot meal afterward.

    If you can hold 25kph on your own then you should be able for the main group. It really depends on what groups form on the day but everyone usually finds someone to ride with.

    Did this today and clocked my first 100k in 3 hrs 35. Very happy with this as a 49 year old 15 stoner who only started in June. Thanks to the organisers of the event and especially the marshals who were out in such terrible weather.

    Well done! that was one tough day in those conditions! Fair play to the marshals alright....they were still standing out there to see everyone in safely when I was driving back home after my lovely Curry in the pub ;)
    Nice one! ;)

    Did the 50km yesterday and MAN was it wet and wild! We were going to do the 100km but decided against it once it was underway and the rain came down. Had been off the bike since the 80km Leinster loop back in August, so didn't have it in me! Great day out and some great food at the end though. Heard there was some arseyness from some older guys during a crash when they were bawling at people for being "amateurs" towards the end. It was advertised as a leisure event, to my knowledge! There's always one I guess. Well organised and marshalled.
