    well, its upon us again.
    Registration seems to be open (with a rather annoying website)
    https://www.ringofkerrycycle.ie/

    Havent done it in years, so was half thinking of doing it, but alas I cant see the bottom dollar without going through the registration process...
    With a FAQ you'd imagine they'd include the price...

    Anyway,
    Anyone registered, and how much?

    Hi - myself and some friends are doing the cycle this year. My friends are flying in from France and want to hire decent bikes for the cycle. Can anyone recommend a place hiring road bikes in Killarney/Kerry? They don’t want the standard tourist bikes for meandering round or super duper ones just something in the middle.

    Try o sullivan cycles ....I only recommend as they sponsored rás mumhan....I have never rented from them but I have used their shop in Listowel.

    Enjoy the day ... I don't do sportives any more but have done ROK twice in last 10 years and while I thought not cheap you get a lot back
