    Could a Mod update the title with date/time/location? (Saturday 25th March, 9am, Stocking Lane roundabout)

    Cheers

    They could, I suppose someone should ask one (flashbacks to junior cert English class) if they will?

    (May be confusing this with the great May I/Can I? questions of national school.

    Im not unfortunately.
    I go up stocking lane a bit but I dont think Ive ever done the full one that this tt uses. I normally turn right coming from gunny hill. I presume this tt covers that section plus about a km or so before the gunny hill junction?

    Yep. It's 1.5k from the start to Gunny hill; steep part only starts then

    Hopefully a few turn up for this. Long range weather looks decent too.

    Lovely little cafe that.
    I'd have done it only Ive to leave my other bike (ktm with an engine) in for a proper clean at 9. Best of luck to all and enjoy.

    I plan to give it a go but maybe under major time pressures so I could have been and gone before 9.

    I might give it a go, but I'm a hopeless climber, rarely venture out that way. I wanted to cry going up lovers leap lane and stepaside lane the last 2 times I was cycling south of the Liffey. It's a bit dependent on weather and if I can take out the good bike, but I'm currently using the steel tourer for all my cycling, though that has a lower gear.

    Not commiting or anything ,where exactly is the start and finish, I'm hopeless with name places, l know its " stocking Lane ". For example I know a route from The Mill pub that brings you up a climb to a T junction, take right and that brings you up by hellfire fire club entrance, keep going and brings you up to View point. From there take high Road up to featherbed and up past kippure to Sallygap Gap.
    Have I been anywhere near stocking Lane ?

    Quaker house and Bloomfield, right after the roundabout on Stocking lane for the start. The viewing point for the finish.

    Here it is in Google Map glory:

    I am tempted to steal my partners bike and bring the little lad out for it if it is not too cold.
