Are there any details online?

160 would be too far for me but i hear there is a 100k spin?

160km route but afaik the 100km route is the same without the loop in the middle.

From their FB page

"The ride takes in a loop of the Slieve Bloom mountains covering the notorious Wolftrap and "The Cuts" climbs, (which feature in the "Rás" on many occasions) The shorter 100Km avoids doing the SB loop. The return ride then goes via Portlaoise and takes in the "Windygap" climb leaving Stradbally, and then it's full steam for Carlow. The event can be roughly broken into three 50Km's; CW to mountrath, the SB loop, Mountrath to CW.
Sign-on: 8:15 – 9:00 Fee 20euros
Roll-out: 9:00"

I've been asked do this also. Legs might be a bit heavy after the Orwell Randonnee the day before!

Really enjoyed this today. Small numbers especially on the 160k but great to cycle on roads that I've never done before.

The Holy Angels school made their Hydro-therapy pool available to tired cyclists after the spin, super day for 20 euro
