i know a few of us did a spin earlier this month that was circa 4000 metres climbing in 210 ish kms. It did make the wicklow feel quite handy. Astramonti on here came up with the route, and the only goal as far as i could see was to climb as much as possible.

Never heard of the grimpeaur but it sounds quite appealing!
