Cuchulainn cc will be running this event in the coming weeks, thought it may be of interest as its an easy drive from Dublin and maybe the last event of the year, The event will likely use a mix of trails, fire road and public road. I cycle this area regularly and the trails are really good, fast, open mountain grass trails so not much mud. 20K option but the 45k probably wont be as bad as it sounds as there is a good mix of gradual climb and long decent. See below for details and contacts.
