05-05-2016 2:15pm#1
Time for one of the biggest races of the year again and I am delighted to announce that Bray Wheelers have secured a new title sponsor for the Elliott this year with New Ireland Assurance coming on board.
Sunday May 15th
Sign on is at the Bray Wheelers clubhouse on Schools Road, Bray between 0900 and 1030. Parking will be available BEHIND St. Killian's Community School which is adjacent to the clubhouse.
Location: https://goo.gl/maps/H9BcYrnXPRA2
Shower and changing facilities are available in Bray Wheelers clubhouse.
We have two new routes for 2016. The A1/A2 race will now descend into Ballinaclash after Rathdrum (as the SHA3 has for the previous two years) and will then complete 3 x 21km circuits around Ballinaclash - Woodenbridge - Avoca before going on to tackle the Elliott. The A3 race follows the route last year until Annamoe and then both races take on a revised final 20km to finish at Djouce woods on the top of Old Long Hill. This takes riders off the N11 and brings them back much closer to Bray. Once finished it is almost all downhill back to the clubhouse.
A1/A2 Route 152km: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12624145
A3/Jun Route 89km: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12623600
- Racing will commence in the A1/A2 race at 1100
- Racing will commence in the A3/Jun race at 1105
- Ladies to race in whichever Cat1/2/3 race their licence says
- €15 entry
- No pre entry
- No A4 race
- Both races will start with a 3km neutral roll out from the Bray Wheelers club house until all riders are on the N11.
- There's a sprint prime for both races on the N11 at the top of the Newtownmountkennedy bypass at 13.5km approx (inc roll out)
- There's a KOM prime at the top of the Shay Elliott for both races
- A1/A2 race will have Neutral Service and Broomwagon support
Tough route and always a great race, right up there with the best in the country. While the organisation that goes into every race is mammoth and something that you'll never grasp until you're involved with running one, the organisation that goes into a race that covers such an amount of distance and diverse roads is absolutely epic. Over 100 marshals covering a number of different junctions each throughout the day.Tagged:9

here's a photo of the facelift well done to the Bray Wheelers committee for organising this!
The monument fell over back at the end of '70's.
A group of the young lads were driven up by two of the senior members and we reset it. Whilst we were up there working the circuit of Ireland Rally came along and closed the road. No one noticed we were there and when we were finished we set off down towards the vale of clara without knowing there was a rally on. Some of us were in the back of a flatbed V.W and we could hear a high revving engine coming towards us. The face of the driver and the navigator when they came around the blind corner and saw a V.W transporter pottering towards them was priceless
