    Decent course as in interesting or pancake flat?
    If it's the latter I could be convinced. :)

    It's certainly not flat!!!

    It's starts off flat for about 500 m then goes up a hill for about 1.5k . At this point you can see the boyne valley in all its glory . You then head down towards the river and over to the other side (course for this section is flat- with a bit downhill ). Scenery is spectacular with a bit of history on the side! .

    At about 8k - there is an extremely steep long hill which probably goes on for-about 750m feels like more so not sure of exact distance . Then when you get to the top you get to sprint into town with an approx 1k down hill . Then just when your nearly home a short up hill where your welcomed onto the Main Street by the local samba band and huge crowd!

    It's a great race , great atmosphere and great pub scene after!

    I'm not affiliated with the race at all - just from the town and there is something special about racing in your home territory! All my distances above are just estimates !
