I will be along for some of it. I will probably head out earleir on the Route as I don't want to blow up trying to keep up!

fear not the Good Friday Monster is back....same route and meet up times as last year.
here is the post from last year....
Hey all
If anyone is aiming at a W200, Mick Byrne, Beast, Etape, Raid, Marmotte or any long mountain spin this year then this could be for you!
We did this last year and was a fantastic day...25 started only 8 finished the full thing...a tough but great day out

Plan is to meet up at Yellow House at 830am Good Friday. It's a training spin open to all but is a very challenging day so it's definitely one to think hard about before just turning up on the day.
Route is in link above but it's basically:
158km and 2800m of climbing across 7hours of cycling. We'll break for 2 brief coffee stops in Laragh. Like last year we'll keep the group together as much as possible and regroup at the top of each climbs etc. If you're interested in bombing around the course and not waiting then this is not for you. If you have a hatred of coffee stops then this is not for you either!(even Ken O'Neill sometimes stops for coffee and enjoys it)
Route: Yellow House-Cruagh-Sally Gap-Laragh(stop 1)-Shay Elliot-Sliabh Mann-Brown Mountain-Greenane-Shay Elliot-Laragh-Wicklow Gap-Laragh(stop 2)-Glenmacnass-Sally Gap-Featherbeds for the 1st kom of the season!-Dublin.
It's a long day and I think it could be 430-5pm before we return home.
It's very much a spin aimed a measuring ones legs as the mountains season gets on it's way. We'll be taking it at a nice easy pace and keeping it to orange pace max.
All welcome to join the monster! Any questions please ask.....and yes Eugene....there will be banter

It'll be Day 6 of my Haute Route training block, nice way to round it off. Going to bring plenty of caffeine gels.
