Did this cycle along with my club mates from Killarney cycling club. It was a great event, plenty of marshals at all junctions and the lovely weather put the icing on the cake.
Hopefully it will become an annual event

Couldn't complain. Stewarding was excellent. Back road to Beaufort was good, plenty of rolling hills !. Main road from Killarney to Farranfore is very busy with traffic but hard to avoid that. Heard a few motorists complaining about some cyclists cycling 3 abreast between Castlemaine & Milltown. Taking back road from Milltown to Killorglin also excellentbutI think the Finish should have beed a few hundred yards back from the main road.

Any complaints - Food was gone at the Fishery & I finished early enough. Start area also conjested but really happy with the event.I met Staphanie O'Sullivan once at the Harvest fair in Milltown last August & she left a very good impression on me. Really beautiful, talkative & happy with a great personality. Couldn't believe what happened.

thank you for your feedback, we were dissapointed with the fishery as they had assured us that would cope with the cyclists no problem but alas they did not and were not approachable either and as regards the start area you are 100% right but as novices at organising this sort of event we will learn from this one and next year their will be a different start area and venue for afterwards.and your impressions of Stephanie are quite right too and we still cant believe what happened ,,,,
