What's the terrain like on the 100km Drumlin challenge route? Hilly?

Is this in addition to the one on the 6th May ?

The date might suit me better - will the route be similar ?

Thanks

will more than likely go to one or both of these now that i'm nearly local to the starting point!

the carrickmacross one on may 6th is on the same day as the sean kelly tour of sligo, would love to get down to that one but it's looking like i'll be staying local instead

Grand job, thanks. Hope it doesn't clash with the All-Ireland, in case Monaghan are in it.
