CheGuedara

Just dropping a post on behalf of my club to make people aware of the opening of registration for our sportives to be held in September (now that last weekends sporting activites in Croke Park have freed up the weekend of September 18/19th somewhat for us in Kerry).

The Chain Gang CC, Tralee is happy to announce the 2010 Chain Gang Sportives.

This year we will be hosting with the support of our event partners a set of cycles suitable for all levels of ability, from recent converts to cycling and families to the most experienced endurance cyclist.

• The Camp Cruise Family Cycle – A gentle 30km route running from Tralee along the picturesque northern coast of the Dingle Peninsula to the small village of Camp and back.

• The Conor Pass Challenge – A classic 110km route takes this sportive cycle over the Conor Pass – Irelands Highest Mountain Pass on a scenic route then taking in Dingle, Annascaul, Inch and Castlemaine

• The Blasket Blast 150km- Another first for the club. A new route for this year taking in the entirety of the peninsula over 150km, taking in the climbs of the Conor Pass and the spectacular coastal run around Slea Head.

To ease entrants registration and to allow for better planning, online entry for the cycles has been set up for this year’s events via the following link -
