Hi Kevinleeowen,

I currently have a LC licence. If I upgrade to A4 this weekend I'm not sure if I'd get my new CI card in time for 21 June.

Would I be able to sign on if I brought my current LC licence and new A4 licence number from CI?

Thanks

I've seen people sign on at other races with the print out from cycling Ireland confirming that they have the correct licence.

You may need to pay a deposit for temp numbers.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer for definite, but if you give CI a call they should be able to tell you, or you could check with one of the commissaries on the morning.
Sorry I can't give a more definite answer.

And lets not forget this is in memory of Seamus Kennedy, 1978 Rás winner and former road race national champion, who loved his cycling - he competed in the Rás 18 times, every year between 1965 and 1981 and then for the last time in 1983.

We look forward to seeing you, and here's to a great days racing.
