The 10am group consisting of 8 riders departed Moby Dicks and also hit the Dungarvan road before turning down onto Piltown and the back road Ardmore. From there they climbed up the Kiely's cross road before turning right and taking the coast road to Ring where they refueled. On they rolled and climbed up to the Shanachie before coasting home the main road to Youghal for 2.00pm with 65km completed. P.S. MIND THOSE CONES ALICE !!

Refreshed, we rode back to Clogheen and up over the Vee for a second time before dropping down into Lismore. From there we rolled onto Tallow and climbed out again on the Youghal road.
