    ... the thing is, it's a bit like the boards jersey order - whoever comes up with the initial "request" is required to do the organising;)

    (in return you get to choose the course)

    I started the howth TT thread but was then away and missed it (didnt expect it to go ahead so swiftly). I think all you need is a few dates, a poll and away you go. Not much to organise. (not offering though as suited to someone more computer literate)

    A few dates, a pole and away you go? Sounds like Dirk's love life.

    Suggest Pub Hill climb

    Start
    Slatecabin Lane near Lambs Cross Sandyford.
    Turn left after 0.3km of a wall.
    Continue on past Blue Light Pub.

    1,5km
    Gain 125m.
    Short and brutal.
    With a lovely pub at the top.
    Outside beer garden and car park.

    I did on a singlespeed last year, despite Blorg saying it could not be done.

    It was done. Slowly.

    Good route, nice pub at the end. I second this selection.

    I also recall beating Blorg on the rainy, night time descent from the pub!

    Taylors to Three Rock.
    * Distance
    * 3.9 km

    * Elevation Gain
    * 327 m

    I'd suggest Doodle for a date.

    Oh yeah, meant to say about the hillclimb. Some diligent chap called Niall has put together this handy resource:

    Niall, if you're reading, well done!
