Yea see that have to drive 2hrs to b there for 9 to make sure get signed on then wait until 12 to race I suspect big numbers with balbriggan gone

daragh_ · 26-03-2015 1:47pm

Online pre-reg would save everyone a lot of hassle TBH.

Where did you see info about capping, what are the limits?

Anyone got a Strava link for this? Is it flat or hilly or what?

nice 4/5k drag up Col de Colligan on each lap, want the climbing legs on, descent through Millstreet is fast and furious, made for breakaways!

Hi Ho · 26-03-2015 11:26pm

"Sign on early from 9am" for a 12.15 race!
In fairness, using the on-line option would save a lot of unnecessary very early rising for people travelling a distance.

upthe19th · 27-03-2015 12:14pm

It's an early start for a later race in fairness. Online would have been way handier. Would not fancy being number 131 in the queue after a long journey there.

That said, I told one of the boys I'd eat my front wheel if there was over 130 A4's. Could be eating it yet, but to be honest I'd settle for not ending up eating someone's back wheel;)....

Even with Balbriggan not running I highly doubt there will be anywhere near 130 A4 riders turning up.

What speeds are we talking about for fast? I remember doing 75kph in Carlow last week down one of the descents. Similar speeds here?

it won't be quite that fast but given its down a narrow road that twists and turns, it will feel fast. I 'd say 60kph Max in places down mill street.its not a total all out descent

I was getting nervous at 75kph with A4's near my side. Normally I love descending but not in an A4 bunch.

J Madone · 28-03-2015 2:43pm

The other A4s were thinking the same Im sure

Yeah it can be scary, nobody trusts nobody in those situations. One mistake by anyone and it could take down a huge part of the bunch at high speed. At that speed I don't want to imagine falling off.

RockWerchter · 28-03-2015 3:15pm

Go to the front on the decent, it's free speed and will take pretty much no effort. Sitting in the bunch on the brakes makes no sense. If you're on the havier end of the average it's no effort (not a dig, I'm 80kg).

wind howling Some gale right now.once its at your back it will be alright.some sufferfest if its against you.

pprendeville · 29-03-2015 5:35pm

any results?

Andalucia · 29-03-2015 6:01pm

Mckenna won the A1 from Murray, break of 4 away from the gun, quickly whittled down to 3, they were some distance clear of the remainder, groups fairly broken up in the road

Not sure of A3, but breakaway won it - A4 bunch sprint finish, crash in last 400m, some talk of a leader in A4 missing the last left when clear of the group, ferocious wind

inc21 · 29-03-2015 7:29pm

Great day of racing so it was

Mugser · 29-03-2015 9:23pm

Rode the A4 race today, some pretty severe side winds going along the top of the lap to the 1st hairpin, surface like cobbles along the section from there to the main road. Speed along the main road in the bunch on both laps with a tail wind was absolutely savage!!
Saw but managed to avoid the crash at the end thankfully, hope those who came down are ok. Finished about 30th maybe, at a push:)

How many raced the a4 after do you think?

Ptttf, was maybe 80 or so at the start. Pure guess that now.

Andalucia · 29-03-2015 11:00pm

some tailwind alright into the Master McGrath monument, that McKenna is some powerhouse, didn't realise he is so tall, no shortage of watts

I wonder what happened there? Just missed it myself. Lads fell all over the wrong side of the road. It was on a climb thankfully so hopefully nothing to serious. Speed on the main road was just mental, any mishap there would have been painful.

The A4s were going over 60km/h on that straight. Wind was hard today, caught my bike a few times and I nearly lost my balance. There was a breakaway on the first lap, I think there could have been 6-7 riders, they were caught after a while but stayed away for a long time. I was taken down in the crash at the finish. Shocked but I'm ok, a rider fell into me and I came down. Wasn't my fault so nothing I could do.

outfox · 30-03-2015 10:25am

Does anyone who rode in the A4 bunch yesterday have a Strava link I could look at?

Thanks inc21. I got dropped by the first bunch on the climb, got back on, and got dropped again. I just wanted to see what the pace of the bunch was. 'Twas my first race.

Well not one that you're willing to share

You still marking all your spins as private to hide them from your club mates?

Didn't have anything compatible that works with strava. I have a very basic bike computer. I came down on final climb so why would you be interested in my race profile? I'm not hiding that. If you passed you should know.

I'm no way interested just remember you saying on here before that you were going to mark your spins as private on strava as you didn't want your club mates knowing what you were doing. But now your saying that your bike computer doesn't work with strava but just a little confusing

There is always a catch

I am now generous and getting on famous with them. Plenty of our club racing last day. They know all about me.

Morrisseeee · 24-03-2017 6:28pm

Q. Anyone know where the sign-on is this year ?
I see modeligo community centre is mentioned, a gooogly search says this is 12km from start/finish line, am I correct ?

From Dungarvan CC Facebook page

"All roads lead to Modeligo on Sunday next for the annual running of our open races. It’s the highlight of our year and a chance to showcase our club and the great roads and scenery we have in the area. This year has a new race HQ at Modeligo Community Centre and a new start/finish line outside Modeligo school. Sign on will open at 9am and senior racing gets underway at 12 midday with the main race the A1/2 race. This race sponsored by CycleSports bike shop for the O Doherty cup is over 3 laps of the Millstreet circuit, 107km’s. Last year’s winner Stephen Murray of Velorevoluton will be back to defend his title. The A3/Junior race sponsored by RTS heating and cooling systems will also be over 3 laps of the circuit. Last year’s race was won by Cathal Purcell of Carrick Wheelers. The A4 race sponsored by Bob Troy And Co cycle and lawnmower shop will be over 2 laps of the circuit for 71km’s of racing. Last year’s race was won by our own George MacLeod who won’t be defending his title as he was upgraded to A3 recently. The ladies race will cover 2 laps also and is round 2 of the Ladies Munster league. Last year’s winner was Emma Walsh. There will also be underage racing commencing at 10am. Under 12’s start at Ballinamult and race 8km’s, U14’s start at Master McGrath and race 24km’s and U16’s start in Modeligo and race a full lap of 35.5km’s. We are expecting big numbers for all the races and there will be big numbers of DCC members racing keen to perform on local roads. So if you’re in the area and want to see some of the best riders in the country racing why not head out to Modeligo or any part of the circuit and enjoy the action. All we need now is the weather Gods to look favorably on us!"

Is that a hill finish then or flat ?

Looking forward to being dropped up Coligan second time tmrw...Don't think this race will be like my first two for some reason.

Going doing Dungarvan myself tomorrow. Was one of the first races i did last year so looking forward to comparing efforts afterwards. Hopefully the legs will come along tomorrow not like the first two races so far this year!!!

Andalucia · 25-03-2017 10:21pm

finish will be very interesting tomorrow, could be carnage coming round that bend in Millstreet with everyone looking for position if its a sprint finish

Looks like it will be a super day with an east wind which should be a factor at the business end if I'm correct.
Hopefully a good safe race and anything after that is a bonus.
