An post tour of Sligo and Meath

Anyone know when (or if) the an post tour of Sligo and Meath are on this year?
My friend and I are planning to do both if they are on again but can't find anything about the 2012 events?

I've noticed that none of the cycles are describing themselves as the An Post Tour of/de Whatever. Anyone know if the cycles are now run by the LSP's (& supporting cycling clubs where applicable) without An Posts support this year?

Thinking of doing the 60km cycle with the girlfriend but she only has a hybrid bike, would she be able to complete the cycle with it or would she be better off trying to get a racing bike for it?

thankfully they've cut out the bit west of Kells where the roads were really crappy - no climb up Loughcrew and no playing chicken with the tour buses on the descent:)

Hi tell your girlfriend shell be fine on her hybrid assuming its a good make. We did the cycle to paris on hybris and kept up no problem even passed out the road bikes on the hills. We had treks fx models.
