    Was there a race on the N81 today after Baltinglass (between there and Ballymore)?

    Saw a couple of pelotons and what looked like a Broom wagon.

    Gorey 3 day starts and finishes in Blessington. So would have been that coming back into Blessington, I'd imagine.

    My girlfriend just met them - an audi broom wagon (or a team support car) was parked up and then decided that they really, really needed to be in front of her and the cars behind her.

    Decided also that indicators and safe braking distances don't apply and just pulled out, nearly causing her and the car behind to fuse with said audi.

    Ironic really that a cycling club are the cause of bad driving and severe agitation.

    Cyclists driving cars. Who ever imagined it!
    Unable to use indicators and pulling out without warning. Was it a taxi?

    Passed what must have been the finish line (between Blessington and Brittas) when everyone was packing up and going home. Dangerous set up.
