    This sportive continues the tradition of the popular St Lukes sportive which unfortunately stopped last year. I think this is the route. http://www.mapmyride.com/ie/enniscorthy-l/a-ride-mapped-on-03-14-2011-route-29666348

    Further details on Facebook I believe.

    Plan to do this, steamtrain* up the early ascent of Mt Leinster and then enjoy the scenery at a gentle pace on the rolling 2/3rd left..











    * Huff and puff a lot and have to keep stopping for water.

    Is this following the same route as the St Lukes one from last year? I've been waiting for a chance to have another run at the hill between carnew and ferns, sliabh bui I think it is, an absolute brute of a hill after you take the 90 degree right turn.
