I thought I heard something about marking the SKT route permanenty, but I stand corrected.

The ones on the Coast Road have a number '4' on them,

There are ones on the actual cycle Route of the Sportive with Numbers 1,2 & 3 on them, from what I can see the 160km is 1, 100km is 2 and the 50km is 3.

Not too sure what route the '4' is. I've seen the signs out by Fenor and in as far as the turn of for dunmore on the tramore road, maybe a route along the coast road from dungarvan to waterford city? Must check it out nest time I cycle out that way

If there blue signs then they're cycling trails. Someone who a few of you have met on boards spins from Kilkenny looks after down here. I've also seen them in Tipperary. They're part of Barrow, Suir, Nore Rural Development. It's part of Rural Recreation development, which helps to develop walking, cycling and heritage trails.

Well these Signs are Blue & White but they have the Sean Kelly Tour Logo on them and Sigsn with 1,2 & 3 on them defintely mark the route of the tour, Ive seen them all the way around while on spins on various parts of the route.

I've seen number 3 out around the Old Parish area.

There was an announcement last year about funding to develop and signpost cycling routes around the county - see here - no sign of a website or any maps to match them though.

Did they run out of money be the time the signs went up?

You would think they(sports partnership i presume) would at least tell the cycling clubs about it!!!

We had a quick presentation on it (assuming it's the same ones).
