Nope but heading down to Killaloe for this one http://www.loughdergmonster.ie/

Low key and well ran event last year with most of the biking off road but not that technical except for one small section which you could run down.
Did it on a cyclocross bike last year but opting for a MTB with semislicks this year.

Might meet the oft cried out for criteria of those that want a bit of off road biking, don't have team mates sorted to the likes of CLEC etc.

Am sure if you contact them today you should be still be able to enter

Looking forward to this one too my first time doing this one so thanks for sorting my dilemma on which bike to bring. It looks like about half is on tarmac so I was thinking cyclocross might be better option but gonna give it a go on the mtb too with semi slicks.

Fortune favours the brave Jeff ..................... he said hopefully :eek:

Puncture probs in CAC were caused by faulty new tyre with a piece of wire sticking out of it - different tyres and hopefully puncture free outing would be nice along with the good weather!

That's a balls altogether. No getting round that. Well enjoy the races, whichever one you're doing & whatever bike you're doing it on.

Agree with you there!:p You'd think someone has an issue with the Avon Ri race getting a bit of a plug
