    I did this one last year and it was a bracing, but very enjoyable, day out. I hope the last few miles take a different route this year as the road back into Drogheda wasn't fit for road bikes.

    This was a great event last year, despite the slightly inclement weather.
    Lovely route.
    Looking forward to a return visit.

    Suggestions taken on board chaps.The small narrow rd that runs along the river on the normal route back is out of commission at the moment anyway,so what we'll do is continue in from Collon,through the roundabouts.We will come down Mell in to Town,and return to finish via Rathmullan Rd and Marleys Lane.

    Did this last year. Lovely spin, hope to do it again this year.

    How much is it to do this one and do you have to be a club member?

    Where exactly does this leave from?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭bcmf


    SInce its on a special boardsie's birthday I will probably do this as I missed it last year due to being up sick the whole night before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭wav1


    Where exactly does this leave from?
    It starts at the old Opel/Saab garage in the retail pk Donore Rd,Drogheda.Be
    side KFC,Homebase etc.

    I may give it a go, it would probably be a good idea to put up a reminder around this time next year though, otherwise people might forget, a year's notice is kind of a long time.;)

    KFC eh? Might carb up for the cycle with a delicious zinger burger?!

    ill be doing this i suppose. I guess you meant 2013 Wav1? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭Newgrange Warrior


    Would the tour it be suitable for a novice who be used to doing 50km?

    YES 2013 Sorry all.But its just not a normal week for me Lenny.

    If its the same route as last year you'll be grand. Only real drag is coming from Ardee to Collon. 80k with a group will be as easy as 50k on your tod.

    Update.Proceeds from the Louth Coastal Tour 2013 will go directly to the appeal for aid for those unfortunates in the Phillipines.Hope to see you for a sea air filled spin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,386 ✭✭✭lennymc


    Just a reminder that this cycle is on this Sunday. Weather forecast looks great - sun, 25 degrees, no wind - unfortunately that forecast is for somewhere else. The actual Louth forecast for Sunday looks Ok, cloudy, 7 degrees, no rain and very little wind. What more could you ask for at the end of November! Should be a good spin on a really nice route. hope to see you there!

    Typical - I'm working on Sunday. Did some of that route today though - mostly into the wind - but I'd liked to have been here to do it in a group. Enjoy
