Did the 200km last year.I just rode at a steady tempo all day and finished it handy enough.Went to the pub for pints afterwards and the legs weren't too bad on the Monday morning.Also its easy for the mind to wander and you think you'll never finish,you need to keep positive and just keep pedalling.Enjoy the food stops,very well stocked with nice grub!!
I Did the 160k last year, its a great day out but I thought it was tougher than the Wicklow 200, would have signed up for the 200 this year but cant make it, its very well run and theres plenty to eat at the food stops and food at the finish, hopefully you get the weather, there was hailstones on the climb up to Sallygap last year.
I did the 100 last year, someone was supposed to do it with me (won't mentions names) but they bailed on me in favour of some Mickey Mouse event up north! �� it was a great spin, food stop in laragh was quality, cakes, sambos, the lot. Sideways hailstones on the climb up the gap. Weather is to be good so enjoy. Can't make this year unfortunately but it really is a great day on the bike
