    What route do you guys take? I’ve to 18 miles at some stage tomorrow. I thought the park might be a bit too small for such a distance and slightly put off heading to the park.

    There are loads of loops in the park (and Just outside). We usually do loops of 6 or 7 miles, dropping back to the car park for a drink every hour...

    thats a shame. We did hang around for a little and there was no one left in car park when we got going at 10 or thereabouts. Next time. Heat didn't make it easy for an LSR alright!

    Sometimes I'm pretty stoopid. I saw them setting that up earlier in the week. Completely forgot

    Cheers Ray

    I'll do my LSR closer to home

    Looking at the map, that's only on a small circuit up around the castleknock gate/farmleigh. Surely the rest of the park will be open?

    That looks fine. Roads only closed to vehicular traffic and only those roads/gates at the north of the park. There is no problem entering via Chapeilizod/ main gate/North Road Gare and getting to Papal X.

    The closed roads will actually make it easier to run and we might even get up close to the races to provide a welcome distraction.

    Papal Cross Car Park
    Time : 9am
    Pace: 8.30


    Claralara - 10 miles

    I've to do 15 tomorrow, might tag along for the first ten and then split off and do a few slower ones.

    Assuming I figure out how to get to the Papal cross in the morning! :rolleyes:

    Can you bring my present please. :P I'll be at magazine fort/somewhere around the pitches at 10:20/30ish.

    Edit: Also, your maths is a bit off. 10 + 6 + 4 = 20 miles not 10 miles. :pac:

    Yeah, I was running around there this morning. Most of the park is fine, it's just Ordnance Survey/Furze/north Chesterfield that has pedestrian barriers around it. The four-way junction at Furze/Ordnance/Upper Glen is all closed off, so you can't do a loop around the Furry Glen and Upper Glen Road. The rest of the park is grand.

    But you might have trouble getting parking...

    I'd say so, If the car park is full there are always cars parked up both sides of the Acre's Rd. Worst case scenario you will have to park in Chesterfield Av.

    Are you joining us for a few miles?

    _As far as I could see_ the roads are open to get there, and the car park will be open. But the motor racing event starts at 9, so it might be full? Parking at the War Memorial gardens and jogging over could be a safer bet...

    The Instructions for the motor racing event is for spectators to park at the Ashtown Gate but to preferably take public transport.

    There are literally hundred of spaces up and down the chesterfield Avenue should the car park be full. there are also plenty of spaces on the north Rd, Garda HQ. I can't really see the papal X car park being full. I'll take the risk anyway.

    Well, the plan is to hit the park at 10am and do a couple of easy miles before doing a stretch at ~6:14/mile. Then meeting up with some of the other lads, to do some further miles at that pace, with some sections at around 5:50/mile. 9am is just way too early for me! Some of us don't have young kids any more!

    We generally loop back to the carpark at 10am for drinks ;). You can join us if you want for a few miles anyway...we should have 7 done by then so the plan would be 3 @ 8:20 and 6 @ 7:30 pace
