So anyone got a link to the route?

Not sure if I can make it, but there was some debate about the start time too, wasn't there?

I can help with the Marshaling if needed I doubt I can keep up for this race at the moment.

start time at 11, sign on at 10:30 from what I heard at the start last night. Exactly where I'm not sure. Blessington I think.

According to Dave on the earlier thread:

Ok, so we know where the start is, and when we're supposed to be there...

...do we know where we're going yet? How long the race is etc?

It will most likely be 55km; 2 laps of Poulaphuca, 1 lap of the lakes then 2, possibly 3 laps of the Kilbride circuit.
Riders arriving on the finishing circuit (at the bridge) a lap down or more will be pulled out to save confusion. It's highly likely that the field will be shattered at that stage.
I'm not certain of the finish but it'll probably be the flat finish before the hairpin, as was used in the DMS 5 weeks ago.
There is a trophy for the first Orwell rider, medals for first 3, for the league table it will be 5 points to all starters regardless of placing. This is a bonus event, so can't be discounted as one of your worst 4 races.

If anyone has any more questions please ask.

Other thoughts;
This will be handicapped, enough to give everyone a race, but not enough that there's any chance of riders staying away. With it being a championship we want it to be decided by the strength of the riders rather than the handicapping.

Marshals; we really will need some help on that score, so if you're around and not too pushed about racing please consider going out to marshall.

Thanks Dave

So who's the newly crowned club champion?

Genius here managed to miss the start by leaving too late and then got 2 punctures on route to Blessington. If it was starting at the Blue Gardinia i would have made it.

Sabotage has not been ruled out as yet and there is an investigation underway.
