[Event] The Martin Codyre Cycle 2014

Martin Codyre Fund

The Martin Codyre cycling challenge is happening on July 19th and starting on the seafront in Bray. It has a 60 km and 100 km route around Wicklow.

This cycle is to help find a cure for spinal cord injury

unfortunately I cannot post a link or a poster for it as I am a newish user but if you just google "martin codyre cycle" you'll find details.

The organisers asked me to post a link to a KOM challenge they've set up for the day of the event - LINK.
Seems like a good idea for something different on a Sportive/Charity event. Looks to be the Luggala climb I think?

I can confirm that it is the Luggala climb. Thankfully they will have water / refreshements at the top of that climb before we head off to the top of Sally Gap.
Great day, great course, lovely scenary and a savage burger at the end of it in the Martello on Bray seafront.
Hope to see some of you guys there.

Does the 105km route go to Newtown Mount Kennedy then onto Glencree/sally Gap and Luggala or the opposite way around?

Go at your own pace Kilmarnock72, Im only back on the bike since the start of May so will be taking it handy

Great event today, hard course but took it my own pace. Could have done with a compact with only 39x28 available
