    Nice and lumpy. I cycle there very regularly, usually at night slowly with lights though.

    Great race last year....a good test on a tough course which will bring you on... the course is tough but the riders make the race not the course, the A4 last year still came down to a sprint from a reduced bunch

    here is a link to the route http://www.mapmyride.com/ie/carrigaline-m/edge-classic-route-31114810

    We had planned to change the route but due to the bad road surfaces we have moved it back to the original route.

    Everyone is saying this is a tough one. How much climbing is there for 4 laps of the A4s?

    A course is as tough as the riders make it.

    It's a great course. Do it, you won't regret it.
