    So true.

    I've no idea why I enter these events.

    Last year a lad passed me and then he eased up on the pedals and stared hard at me. Then he asked me if I was sure I was alright. He was so genuinely worried I burst out laughing.

    As we may never see each other again in the course of the day, how about a Boards photo at 7.55 to the right of the clubhouse entrance? A chance for a last smile before the agony.

    Hey guys, anyone know what time the 100km roll out at?
    Or is it sign on and leave whenever?

    Anyone a member of the Sorrento club?

    Just wondering if the directional arrows for the various routes have been redone for this year?

    Did a bit of the route last weekend and they don't seem to have been redone but they're still pretty visible in most spots.

    Why couldn't it sell out.

    225km since the 28th March, this is going to hurt.

    Nice route though 😀

    I thought you're finished with longer rides? Anyway, good to see you back :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 543 ✭✭✭Crocked


    Whats the situation with parking? don't see any mention of any parking availability on the Sorrento website


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    There is always plenty of parking space along the road outside of the school, but its better to come earlier to avoid a long walk to registration ;) Well, you can cycle it too..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,881 ✭✭✭terrydel


    What time does the 200k start? Im at Slane the night before, so hoping its as late as possible!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,419 ✭✭✭NeedMoreGears


    Just signed up for the 160 ; I suffered a slow death on the 200 last year and I've less training done this time round.

    Fingers crossed....

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    Huh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭OleRodrigo


    Again, I'll be working but I do enjoy riding it as a permanent.

    Hopefully one of these years I'l make the main event.

    Could anyone tell me where the start is ? I see a clubhouse mentioned but unsure of the location.

    Many thanks

    Is this harder or easier than w200?

    The MB200 would be a good bit tougher than the WW200 as it has about 1,000m extra climbing. As there's also a lot less doing it, you don't get the benefit of regularly interacting with other riders. You could be several hours on your own!

    (Not sure what the 100 and 160 routes are like).
