This year's route is 50% gravel, and is one of the tougher hillclimbs we've run in recent years. Despite that it is absolutely road bike suitable, and if you have low enough gears and a reasonable standard of bike handling it is rideable by everyone. I would recommend taking a spin up there beforehand and getting to know the climb though.

I've been asked already (several times) are mountain bikes or cross bikes allowed for this? Yes, they absolutely are, but they'll be way, way slower.

Hi Dave, will the barrier be open on the night of the HC - or will we be expected to skip around it?

Hi Dave,

Is this open to non-club-league leisure folks to have a bash at?

Thanks,
Diarmuid.

Are TT bars allowed?

Yes, if you like. Stick your name down on the registration thread before tomorrow evening if you want to give it a go.

If it resembles something that's UCI legal that'll be good enough for me.

Wide tyres- Ok;
Flat bars/ sprint bars/ tri-bars- Ok;
Disc wheels/ tri spokes- Ok;
Single speed or fixed- Ok;
Disc brakes- Ok;
Sub 6.8kg- Ok if it's safe;
Electric motors- Ok if it's discrete enough for a brown paper bag of money to conceal it.

That list should be regarded as indicative rather than exhaustive though, so if you have any other queries please feel free to ask.

19:23- don't miss your start, there's a good chance there won't be another one free.

Hi Dave,

I see Eoin Byrne is due to start a minute after me, might be worth switching us around if Eoin is ok with it. There's a good chance he'll be passing me right around the time I'll be hitting the gate and I wouldn't want to delay him in getting passed me there
