Found my email in my spam folder. Make sure to check there if you haven't gotten one yet

Same here, found in Spam.

Organizers should text all the participating to let them know if that's more widespread....

see lengthy reply on previous page, that comment was not meant to be taken seriously, my most sincere apologies to all of those who did

i agree re freeloaders availing of facilities that entrants have paid for.

how can you tell a freeloader from some one who signed up for it but can't make the extra trip in to town on the saturday because they have to mind the kids and bring them to football/swimming etc.

most well run events allow you to sign on midweek after work in convenient location.

Hi Anna

Yep..in an ideal world these events would be free..sign on would not be required and everyone would be capable of cycling 100k at and average speed of 40kph! some day maybe.

Freeloaders...They'll be the ones with no number I suppose. But they'll have "some neck" to avail of a service they haven't paid for. Plenty of those type of people around unfortunately.

Found mine in spam too.

Phew.

Also no jersey for me. That's deeply unfair to us congregants of the church of outrageous procrastination.

I hear the weather is supposed to be bad on Sunday. Could the people running this not have done something about this? Absolutely shocking organisation!

They had planned a few more cycling marshals riding around with umbrellas up. My club got the request, but alas we could not muster up any volunteers to help out. Don't think we can blame the organisers though - it's definitely an issue with the CI membership not being prepared to help out when requested ....

Ah there is another statutory meeting today. I bet it's to request that the councils involved erect a clear dome like structure over the route before Sunday.

If only there was something in my post to indicate my acceptance of culpability.

is it not like the w200 and orwell randonnee where you have to show your card
to gain entrance to the food stops? be suprised if you could just roll up and gain entrance to the facilities

When it says "At the sign on process you must bring your Entry Confirmation Email or your Event Number confirmation email" can I just present my smartphone, or do I need a printout?

I was up around Naul and Ballyboghil today. There are signs posted, warning motorists about the Cycle.
Well done.

Jeeze lads this a great thread now - I was in a bad mood this morning this has cheered me right up

yeah they seem to have made a big effort a couple of weeks ago to get it well posted to warn people in advance. have them right out through clontarf, malahide, swords etc and the sections that i cycled last sunday past the airport all had good signage

Anna you're awful selective with your replies....Any chance you can enlighten us on the parking in Collins Barracks. What time is that parking facility accessible on the Sunday? Does it have a closing time?
Both parking suggestions from GDBR peeps is very limited and very vague in its details.

Thanks for that.

I asked on this thread and the rep didn't answer, but answered questions that were asked after mine - that is selective.

There is no point having a rep posting here if they don't answer the questions asked here.

Probably not selective but simply didn't see your post.

New start numbers have been sent out because of a computer glitch. People should check their spam for this again I guess.

Is this for all or just a select number of entrants ?
Thanks
