    There is also the Irish Heart Foundation Tour of the Midlands, not sure of the website - from memory there is an 80km and 120km spin. On the 11th or 12th October.

    Tour of South Meath is on this weekend, starting at Mother Hubbards.

    It's 100 k but if your thinking of doing 80, you will manage the 100. Trust me, I jumped from doing 50-60-70 to 100 and that was on my own. I felt worse after my first 50 than my first 100. In a group you should have no problems.

    Great,yes teh Nicolas roche classic is the one i was looking at.

    It says on the site you can register online.

    Can you pay at the location instead?

    Is there a site or a sticky that shows all upcoming events?Would be interesting to have so one could plan events they want to attend.

    cheers
