    No time to look at a map when you're biting your handlebars :)

    They look about right apart from the first one starting in Blessington.

    Do the A3's get a start on this any of the days with the big field? If so what sort of gap?

    Correct - It's all in together A2 & A3. Don't worry though it splits up pretty quickly after Hacketstown. :D

    I was hearing last night about one young lad (triathlete I think) doing the Gorey as his first open race.

    Enjoy it!

    I assume thats not Kevin Keane your on about. He's down to race for Belpark but I doubt it's his first open race. There'll be no chuckling if it is Kevin Keane your on about though.

    slightly off topic but did Ballinrobe 2 day give a start to the lower levels last year and they then stayed away for the day?

    Ballinrobe was handicapped. Dunno what happened after that but Damian Shaw who was A4 then, did some major damage there. AFAIK think he took all the jerseys.
