Just wondering is anyone doing the Tour de Kilkenny next Saturday? I did the 110 last year and going back again this year - was nice scenery and some surprisingly tricky climbs for a relatively flat county. I registered for the 160 but it appears the first 80km of the two longer routes overlap, so I plan to make a call on the day about how I'm feeling (just back from a cycle touring holiday and was a little unwell before that).

I'm doing the Tour of Kilkenny 160km option. I will be doing it at orange pace. Any other Orwells doing this?

I'm going down for the 160 km too.... weather looks like it will be a bit better than the TOM. Will stick with Ann's Orange pace hopefully

Great that there'll be other Orwell people there! Is it ok if I try joining ye to start with anyway? The first section is fairly flat so I think I'd probably be able to keep up with orange pace until the hills start - after that possibly/probably not but I've no problem dropping off whenever.

No foul language permitted. You lose one leisure point for every time you say the F word.

I've never been down there before.... but should be ready for about 08:45. It's a rugby club so shouldn't be hard to find each other.

I did the event before. The start is in the car park so it will be easy to meet up. I will have my Orwell kit so we should be able to spot each other. See you all tomorrow.

I'd like to say a huge thanks to Willy Madden and Eamonn Eaton for being absolute gentlemen waiting back with me when I had the misfortune of getting not one but TWO punctures inside the first 60km today.
A tough 160km with plenty of hills and no groups to draft off of all day... . A character building experience.

Any time, Ann. Your welcome. At least the weather was better than last week.

Hi Anne
Great days cycling and don't worry your 2nd puncture gave us an excuse for a break at the top of Inistioge hill.
