Hi, I’m thinking of doing this ride as a first audax but can anyone tell me the route?
Same as Colin above,
Hi Lads, your best bet is to contact the organiser directly by email or phone.
Thanks pat for your reply, I did also send an email to the organizer but no joy. ah well
Hi all, Event details have been updated now. Cheers, Niall.
Hi, can someone check the RideWithGPS link, I’m getting a ‘page not found’ error at the moment.
Thanks
Is this going ahead the RidewithGPS link does not show any route?
I got an email from Ronnie last night (21/01) confirming my entry and new start location of Whitehall Church – so yes.
GPS is to follow – so I guess watch this space!
Ronnie seems to have quite the knack of planning his Audax in only the very finest of Irish weather!
That would have been a great route on a nice summer’s day, but Saturday was more like the retreat from Moscow.
