We have two sprint primes which will be on laps 3 and 5 overall with a prize up for grab on each of those. Hotly contested last year !!

Clubrothaiochta will also award a prize for first club rider home !!

Anyone that has taken part in the club training events will know the course very well. The only exception being we do 9 laps in total. At all times we ask that people respect the locals, the rules of the road, the marshals and most of all each other.
