    Gday all,

    Just wondering which do u think is harder. Fair enough the ww200 is 40k longer then the sk route but if the 200 is the so called home territory ie. I'd know the route, hills etc. Does this make the sk harder as I wouldn't know the route & what lies around the next corner. Nothing beats the 200 last year. Severe & tough with the weather would be an understatement.

    Any thoughts as am keen to take on the sk this year. Cheers

    The SKT160 is way way easier than the WW200. I say this having done both last year.

    I agree, I've done both for the last two years. A contributing factor is definitely the date of the events, Kelly comes near the end of the summer when you've got lots miles in your legs and the course is generally easier. Tour of Kilkenny is tougher than skt IMO.

    Never realised there were hills in Kilkenny until I did this for the last few years. Another recommended sportive.
