If anyone feels the need to EARN their post-AGM pintage on Saturday night – here’s one to consider…
The Slieve Bloom Extreme Cycle Challenge takes place in Birr, Co. Offaly at 8:30am on Saturday (registration from 7:30am, journey time from M50 – 1h25min).
The difficult route is 168km long, with seven climbs amounting to a total of just under 2,600m. Think climbing Howth Hill 18 times, or in excess of twice the Lost Sheep cycle route. Full details at http://www.wolftrapcc.eu/index.php/slieve-bloom-extreme-challenge-10-10-2015/
Entry is EUR10.
There are already some of us Piranhas entertaining it, though it’s going to be a squeeze to be back for AGM in time…
