LACEY CUP TRALEE

Post date: Feb 23, 2011 5:32:26 PM

Best of luck to club members Eoin Whyte and Brian Sanders who are making the trip to Tralee this weekend for the Lacey cup.The 75 km annual handicap event is always well turned out and begins at the George Poff Sevice Station on the Dingle Road at 12.15pm.The 75km route is one complete loop of a very challenging route and tests the strongest of riders with the 2No. climbs and rolling hard roads from start to finish.

The route takes the riders on to Camp, then there is a prime at Gleann a Gealt for the Jackie O’Connor Trophy. It is on then to Annascaul where the riders will turn left just outside the village onto Inch, Castlemaine. Then another left turn and a prime at the top of the Sliabh Mish climb for the Teddy Griffin Trophy, before the descent to the finish at Skehanagh just outside the town of Tralee on the N70 (Tralee-Killorglin Road).

Other members who are travelling and whose names i have omitted best of luck on the day
