2016 Tour De South Coast Cycle

BailMeOut · 2016-05-12 12:09:16

Anyone know how well attended the 'Tour De South Coast Cycle' 100km is? It's this Sunday (15th May 2016) from Minane Bridge (not far from Carrigaline) Route looks handy enough and weather should be good.

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but did you take part in this event?
I'm considering it this year.

I did it and enjoyed it.

The route is nice taking in The Old Head, Kinsale, Nohoval area. Not much cycling on main roads. A good mix of climbing and flats.

We got a good blast of sunshine at the food stop in Garrettstown which always helps. Plenty of grub when I was there.

Can't remember much about the marshalling and safety backup side of things -memory is a bit foggy, but easily checked in advance.

I would be doing it again this year if I was around.
