Sportives 2022

Serious question, what sort of a place is Boyle if you were to do a night out after something like that?

The 2022 Reservoir Dog Sportive takes place on the 4th September. We would love to see our friends and familiar faces that have been on our challenging event before and also some new faces who have yet to experience The Reservoir Dog Sportive in person.

The registration link is now live at;

Hope you can make it. 🙂

Done!! My favourite event. Roll on September!

Haha. You are always in like Flynn AxleAddict. Thanks, See you in September.

Thank you Seth. I know you are being a bit tongue in cheek but yes, Sportives are getting pricier. We made a conscious decision to freeze our prices this year given the inflationary pressures everyone is facing. We will take a wee hit given that our costs are rising but we are determined to offer the best value and quality we can to riders.

At the risk of making you acknowledge every Boardsie who enters Corker, I do have to say done and shared with McNally Swords!!

Boyle is quiet enough, few nice pubs.

Carrick will be full of hens and stags, if you're into that

I posted this in Adverts as well.

I have one ticket for sale for Ring of Beara 40 Euro : Start and finish in Kenmare 8.30 am May 28 .

Participants will have a choice of an exciting 140km or 110km cycle, by the rugged Wild Atlantic Way coastal route on the Beara Peninsula.

I was going to do the Wicklow Mountains Cycle Challenge myself but missed the cut-off date for online registration, which was 2nd May. So I rode the course on Sunday to see what it's like. Plenty of climbing and some rough roads down near Donard. A nice course overall. 3-days beforehand is leaving things pretty late to cancel.

Think I'll head to Boyle tomorrow. Weather is promised good and there's some lovely scenery around south Sligo and north Roscommon with a few steep climbs

Have entry for Tour De Connemara.

Saturday 28th May. Will sell for €50.

PM me if interested.

I did the Ashbourne Wheelers Sportive today and it was very enjoyable. 87km and approx. 820m ascent. No long climbs but plenty of drags and a few sharper kicks along the way. Max gradient on the course was about 8% I think. There were lots of junctions on the route but all were marshalled and they kept us moving along very well. There were a few poorly surfaced stretches of road but they were relatively short and the course overall was in very good condition and wound its way through lots of very pleasant scenery. The food stop was about 36km in at Glen Emmetts GAA Club in Tullyallen. I managed to hang on to the group at the front until the food stop. The average speed up to that point was about 34.5 km/h. I did the last approx 30km solo and my overall moving average ended up at 32.7km/h. Bumped into Boardsie smcclaw along the way, pleased to meet you! This was the inaugural Ashbourne Wheelers Sportive and they did an excellent job. I would recommend it and hope to be back next year.

Have one entry that I can't use for the Tour de Conamara 80km if anyone else still searching is reading this, apparently the last day for transfers is the 19th May. Cost €56, will sell for €40 or a decent offer

Glad you enjoyed it BB - the feedback was good, everyone seemed to really enjoy it. See if you can spot yourself - lots of pics on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057546845598
