Hi all

Along with Ann and Helen Horan, I'm delighted to announce we'll be having a Summer Weekend Away this year.

When: June Bank Hol Weekend Friday June 2nd to Monday June 5th. Travel Down Friday eve, cycle Sat and Sun, Travel home Monday.

Where: Tralee, Co Kerry

Why: 2 days of cycling

Stage 1 Tralee-Conor Pass-Dingle-Dingle Peninsula-Dingle-Coastal Road-Sliabh Mish-Tralee
www.strava.com/activities/348804424 162km and 1700m

Stage 2 Tralee-Kilarney-Gap of Dunloe-Black Valley-Molls Gap-Glencar-Ballabeama Gap-Sliabh Mish-Tralee
www.strava.com/activities/350941336 143km 1586m.

2 Amazingly beautiful routes(basically the same as TKAS 2 day in 2015 which is no longer on unfortunately. Both days are equally beautiful and you'll struggle to get 2 more scenic spins anywhere in the world. Although they are tough days out I would 100% recommend anyone to give em a go. They are within reach of anyone at Wicklow 200 level by June. They also happen to land on the weekend before the Wicklow 200 so would make an amazing block of training to do the 2 days of Tralee and then back to Dublin to do the W200 7 days later.

There will more than likely be 2 groups each day(a yellow and an orange). Anyone at white level now should be on yellow by then so no excuses from anyone. If you're cycling right now you'll fly around.

Where will we stay? Book your own apartment in the Tralee Town Centre Apartments
The superior apartment (2 double rooms, 2 single rooms) which all of you reserved last year is €289.00 for the three nights(based on 2016 prices).
There is currently 10 apts available right now.

The standard apartment (1 double rooms, 3 single rooms) again all ensuite – this apartment does not have a dishwasher and would be older than the superior apartment - €229.00 for three nights
Each apt are 4 rooms en suite so it works out as €19 pp per night which is an absolute bargain. Book your apartment now as these will sell out. You'll have no problem filling these apartments up as the demand from Orwell is always very high so book one and post up here to fill up with fellow members!

Where will we eat? We'll figure that out closer to the weekend but the big night will be on Sunday night. The Friday is do your own thing. Helen will book dinners once we have approx numbers.

Food Stops? Pick a garage, cafe etc etc Dingle Day 1 and Glencar Day 2 are good options. We will have further more definitive suggestions a few weeks before the event but it's a self supported event.

That's all for now...get it in the diary and book your apt now!

Is that a typo and you meant "Helen will cook dinners"?
