Stephen Roche GP is on Wed. @ 18:45, it takes place in an estate just off Barton Road East (at the back off Nutgrove Shopping centre Rathfarnham). It's a crit which mean it will be fast and is open to all cat.'s not sure if there will be separate races for each but normally there's not. Any taker Alifie?Damo? Byrner??? come on!
you're on your own for this, i'm going digging !!! cop on to yourselves !! Only a month left ye losers !! so don't get into any scraps without me to stand up for you !!
I'll be there to watch too - two tight corners and two long straights. It looked fun and very very fast last year.

It’s criterium season in Ireland and following the successful Halford’s Tour Series event in Dublin city last weekend, fans of short circuit racing have another opportunity to enjoy the most spectator friendly form of road race cycling at the Stephen Roche Grand Prix on Wednesday evening.

The ever popular Dundrum Town Centre Orwell Wheelers promotion will once again take place on the familiar circuit in the Meadowmount estate in Ballinteer where Stephen Roche turned his first pedal strokes on the road to Tour de France glory.

With a one kilometre circuit the riders are never far from view and the closed roads and central green area where fans and racers congregate help to produce a carnival atmosphere that makes the Stephen Roche Grand Prix one of the most popular social outings of the year as well as an opportunity to see the best criterium riders in Ireland.

There is a full programme of races for youth riders starting at 7pm with the Stephen Roche Grand Prix for senior riders due to start at 7.45pm.

All senior categories are eligible to ride with A3/A4 riders given a handicap start ahead of the A1/A2 entrants.

Sign on and parking for competitor vehicles is at Ballinteer Community School from 6.15pm to 7.15pm.

Competitors are reminded that there is no warming up on the circuit during the youth races.
Well that was entertaining, Morty was Flying I think he got 6/7th overall, Vinny fitz was goin strong until he blew about 3/4 way through. Where the fcuk was Alfi and Damo!!!! Any way we had our own Epic superstar turn out, Myself, RL, Rusty and the great Mac The Knife.
Well done Morty!!!
Well done Darragh ..... fantastic result! Really scarey **** that road racing! Alfie and Damo must have been going so fast that I couldn't see them!!! Even Luke and his girlfriend turned up to cheer them on! That's the 3rd time I've seen GerryMac in a week .... is that a record?
Ohh yeh Luke and Anna Louise and the cow bell, hmmmmmmm wonder what he's doing with the cow bell!!!
Decided to give this a miss, legs were tired from Tuesday so went out on the road bike for a spin instead. Well done to Morty, he is motoring on the road at the moment.
