    Anyone know whether there is a seperate A4 race and what time the race start is? Not really clear on the CI calendar!

    Did this last year and it's an excellent race. As far as I can remember there were sperate races but I could be wrong. Irish Cycling makes it look like combined A1/A2 and A3/A4 handicapped i would imagine. Nice flat circuit on good roads!

    I was speaking to the promoter over the week end and he says he will run separate A4 on the sun but its a short enough course might be a bit tight

    Here's the last few K's of this race. I cycled it this morning. The bit, I have traced is from, when the race turns left at the graveyard in Duleek to the finish line. There was a good tailwind on this section. Ignore those two altitude blips. I don't know, what happened there.
    You'll see, that the finish is not quite flat.
    Hope this is helpful.

    A tailwind, sweet. But when you say that it's not quite flat, you mean it's quite flat, right? :p

    There is an elevation gain of 13 metres in the last 500 metres of the race.
    2.6%.
