Lovely part of the country and great cycling heritage. Respect to the organisers for keeping the entry at €10.
I'll do my best to be there (and bring the usual suspects).

Typical. One of the few events near me and I'm away working.

I think this may be one of the few weekends I wont be free. Will have to double check.

Leave it to me to book a week away around then too!

Just wondering if the 60k is rather hilly. Will be doing this with the other half and she doesn't really like the hills, so would be hoping that it relatively flat.

The 60 KM run will not have any tough hills in it.

It is my part of the woods (and the off-season), so I may be down to ride around too.

I've never done a group event like it so looking forward to it.

Is it open to everyone?

Is there a map anywhere for it? Ten yoyos is a steal.

EMYVALE CC Monaghan

To digdeep, yes it is open to everybody, we may have 2 groups leaving at 9.30 depending on the numbers that turn up. I will try and get a map up later

Best County in the country!!

Hope to make it down for the spin lads. Hope there's a good turn out.

Rode this a few years ago, pretty sure its a different course now, the one I did had plenty of hills!

Was very well organised with plenty of marshalls and very nice countryside!

Was thinking that was a Farney accent I detected at The Morgan Sparrow memorial last Sat LCRC_BAX. Best county? No question!

Food Stop at Martins Filling station in Newbliss Village,the tour then continues in the direction of Clones. It is possible to cut off at Newbliss & travel back to Monaghan at this stage. Dont forget, sign on 9am,depart at 9.30am

ok thanks for the info about food stops, see you Sunday 9am.

Despite a very wet start, we had 103 people signing on. Thanks for the support we received from Clones, CMX, Dungannon, Tydavnet, Clogher Valley cycling clubs. We hope everybody enjoyed themselves as the weather improved from 10.30am onwards. The 40km/hour last 25 km route from Clones to Emyvale ensured everybody finished early.
