Mick Byrne 200 - 2017

Might do this again for the craic.. The 160k version of course, will leave the 200k to our very own Supervet!

Would be good to get a few people from the club to attend and cycle it as a group...Well.. Until Sally Gap anyways!




Event to be held at the following time, date and location:

Sunday, 28 May 2017 from 08:00 to 21:00 (IST)

Dalkey
Dalkey Utd FC
Hyde Road
I was wondering why you bought that new road bike!

I’m planning on doing the 200 this year. Sure we weren’t far off the 200 last year.

Ha! Well my backside would certainly notice the extra 40k!

The weather was great last year, hopefully the same this year, good pair of shorts and some spare food will be needed this time..
See you on the 28th graham no scoffing all the sambos in laragh leave some for me please great day out last year not over subscribed think numbers may have being limited to 300 so no hoards on the roads there again not much chance of being towed around
I found this a good warm up for the 8 hour race in castlewellan which is on again this year 17th june?

Yep I'm gonna do it again this year, felt like I could do more after the 160 last year so might even tempt the 200....maybe
Sounds tempting. I never do any of this type of stuff but need to get fit and challenge myself. The longes spin I've ever done is about 70k and that was only once a few years ago. Could I do it??
Do you not know the saying...If Erica can do it, anyone can do it!! �� It's a great day out, really enjoyed it last year, although the weather payed a big part in that, oh and the company obviously

Yea of course, there's a couple of water stops and a big food stop in Laragh just to fill you up before the climb up to Sally Gap, will help you on the way down though!
It's not that bad, i'd certainly put in more miles if I was doing the 200k though, the 160 will be grand!...

....you have a food stop not long into the event, then a waterstop, then into Laragh for a big feed, up the climb on Military road to Sallygap, and then it's
almost downhill all the way back...

Main thing is, Pace yourself, it's not a race! And there'll be a few of us to cycle around with and have the craic....!
So does anyone fancy doing a bit of training on the raid for this? I'm thinking long steady spins.
Was hoping to do this and then realised it's the same weekend as EWS. I'd be up for some road spins.
