So lads, are many of ye doing this? I will be anyway. I did it last year but I hear the routes have been completely changed, does anybody know what the stages are like and if there are any maps available (even ones like those on MapMyRide or similar)? Thanks in advance

I'll be heading down to this along with a few others.

Is there any info on the courses? Ballyhoura mountain stage sounds interesting.

Spotted this on Cycling Ireland.

Corkman 3 Day Notice - The Race Headquarters has changed. Race Headquarters is now Edel Quinn Hall, Kanturk. This is just 15mins drive from the old Race HQ.

Kerryscoob, where abouts on cycling Ireland is that information?

I just looked there and dont see any notice of it. Can you add a link to it thanks

sunshinyday

cycling ireland website in all fairness must be the worst going.

40 clicks of a mouse to go around in circles and still leave you wondering where information is hidden. Id love to know the thinking behind it

Here's the link

Irish Cycling it should have read, sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.

Diarmuid

In any case, according to what I have read, the entries closed a while ago. Can someone confirm this?

It was OK for me, lost time on the first stage because of puncture but did good from then on! Good TT, getting to love my PX Stealth more and more. In the break for 75km on the final stage but got caught on last lap! I've never seen rain like there was on Saturday! Here is a couple of photos

Jesus Christ that looks wet.
