    Hi all,

    The REK400 Audax will be taking place on 1st June and entries are open now, full details here:
    http://www.audaxireland.org/calendar/gazetteer/rek-400/

    The REK (Roche-Elliott-Kelly) 400 is one of the most demanding yet rewarding routes in the Audax Ireland calendar. Starting from the Stephen Roche Monument in Dundrum, it ascends Glenmalure to the Shay Elliott Memorial before pushing south through the hills of Wexford and Kilkenny to Sean Kelly Square in Carrick-on-Suir. Looping back through the Kilkenny hills, and crossing the outbound route at Kiltealy, you head east through Enniscorthy to Blackwater, and then up the coast road to Arklow, Laragh and the finish.

    Although there aren’t many big mountains on the route, the constant succession of smaller hills will challenge the majority of randonneurs and in the final hundred kilometers even the minor ascents can be testing for tired legs. Hopefully 2013 will not see a repeat of the torrential rain, and “plague of frogs” which were one of the “highlights” of the 2012 event !

    Cheers, LG
