[Daithi]

I'd seriously love to have a go at this, I've outline planning for the two days but Sunday should be brilliant.

I think it's the first of it's kind so I'm not too sure of the format....should be a great event though.


Any one else on here goin ?

If this is the event that starts on the 20th June and ends on the 27th May you'll not have much time for anything else apart from going backwards?

Love to but I've just come back from Ireland and I'm not over again until the end of July.

Good luck

Anyone here taking part ?

I was on the course last weekend and it's a cracking spin through old decidious forestry & parkland. As I understand it there's 'qualifying' races around the forestry on Saturday with the main event, the Steeple X, running from Buttevant to Doneraile on the Sunday.

Should be a great weekend especially as the forecast is "hot & dry"
Don't forget the sunscreen & the fluids

Been out around part of the course too.
Even if not taking part, will be a great spectacle to watch.
