Pretty bad. Huge hole on the inside with a man hole cover popping up in the middle of it. Roadwork signs and huge amount of chippings in the middle of the road where you would normally swing out to drive into the corner.

Surface on the corner is also really poor where it was recently dug up and not put back properly.

I've never made it out for the Peter Bidwell Memorial before. Anyone got a route map? Thanks in advance!

Holes on the inside line plus manhole covers will be coned off to give a racing line through the affected area.We can only do our best.Irish Water problem.

Totally understand that. That junction has been a mess for the past few months.

First day all done and went great.
Ras na N'og produced a brilliant day of youth racing with the final stage to come this morning.Last years u16 runner up came back to us and finished runner up in the senior race this year.So it is a real breeding ground for our future peletons.
Great senior race won in fine style by local man Javan Nulty
Club totally committed to getting everything on the button today with another hectic day of action.All races go ahead as per OP schedule.Hopefully see a few of ye later

Thanks, Drogheda Wheelers, for all the work today.

Great weekend of racing, though my legs are not thanking me for it today! Plenty of marshals and lots of motors too. Took a power hose to get the mud off everything after Saturday, and then I had to break out the aftersun on Sunday.

A very well marshalled race. Great work by the motorcycle riders pushing the bunch back onto the correct side of the road on the main road. Generally very well run.

Farloo

very well organised race, well done to all involved!
