    This is roughly it - I've asked Big Mig to log on later and correct the below for accuracy as I don't know names of all junctions.(Embarrassing to admit!)

    Roundwood GAA, Annamoe, Left ( short drag)Straight though Tomriland cross (Sp?), Long Straight, Hard left, Straight to T junction, Left (drag),
    Down to Filterbeds, Weston Gates(short hill), Over to Tomiriland, Left at Tomiriland - 4 laps and finished outside of the GAA at Roundwood.

    Race start at Roundwood GAA hall.
    Annamoe turn left.
    Tomriland crossroads straight through.
    After about 2k turn left to Ballyduff crossroads.
    Left at Ballyduff to Filterbeds.
    Left at Filterbeds past finish line and on to Westons Gates.
    Left again to Tomriland.
    Then left to start next lap.
    The race is six laps, total distance about 45 miles.

    Did anyone on here ride this race today? How did people find it?

    I rode in it and found it very hard indeed, terrible weather and loads of attacking in the B group, I just managed to get around. Hardest race I have done in a while.

    Did you finish in the bunch mr. skeffington?

    Also are you a B or a C smithslist?

    I can't imagine what it was like in the B group - heard about all the attacking going on alright

    Yep got across to the C's Vets J's and ladies and then got into 1 or 2 moves, saw the break get away but didnt have the legs to get onto it, tried to get across with a group of 5 or 6 lads but we got caught by the bunch and after that I was knackered, just rolled in at the back of the bunch which was very small compared to the bunch that started the race.

    Good man. I tried to get away in an early move before we were caught but it was shut down almost immediately. After that I was just hanging on for dear life
