(Download the Race Map here)Start time:
11:00am.
Sign-on/Registration:
9.00am to 10.30am at Ring Commons Sports Centre.
Race length:
A+, A1 & A2 = 135km
A3 = 77km
A4= 58km
Route: The Race Circuit: Due to structural damage to a bridge on last year’s circuit it has been necessary to modify the circuit route for this year’s races. The course circuit is 19.3 km in length with A+, A1 and A2 riders covering 7 laps. The A3 riders will cover 4 laps and the A4 category will cover 3 laps.
After signing on at Ring Commons Sports Centre the riders will warm up by cycling to the Start/Finish, at Hollywood Great outside Murphy Environment Quarry, for assembly for each race.
After the start flag is dropped the riders turn right after 150 metres at the T junction towards the Nag’s Head turning left at the crossroads on to the R108 and a fast descent to Ballyboughal. The riders then turn left onto the R129 until it meets the R132 at Blake’s Cross.
After turning left, through Corduff, and then a fast run down the Ballough straight, the riders turn left at the Five Roads, proceeding straight through a small roundabout, then over the M1 Motorway and up a climb straight through the Nevitt crossroads to complete the circuit at the T-junction at the base of the Start/Finish area.
On completing the final lap the race turns right on to the sharp 150 metre climb up to the finish at Hollywood Great outside the Murphy Environment Quarry.
All Sunday’s races will finish at the top of the hill at Hollywood Great outside the Murphy Environment Quarry.
Lots and lots of prizes on offer in what should be a great weekend of racing. Sunday's route slightly different to last year but loses nothing in terms of difficulty.15
