Ireland 2014. Donard Challenge , AS, is the event, Saturday 29th March. A new event, but I did a similar thing some time back. We started on the sea front, CP1 was the top of Slieve Donard and CP2 was the finish in Donard Park. This must be the same idea, but the direct line up some Black Stairs was a trifle thoughtful and might have been re-routed.
Greg asks:- “Looking to book Ireland flights, £52 return at the moment from Liverpool to Belfast , anyone else wanting to do the Brits next year?”
DT – a memorable weekend is a certainty. Fly to Belfast, share travel south to Newcastle in the Mourne Mountains, and partake of Ireland’s usual hospitality. Sharing travel, flights, etc, makes it all so much better. Please let me know if you’re thinking of going…
Energy Drinks in a Long Race.
For this year’s Wasdale, I asked at our proper bike shop about what to take in a long event, and I tried some tablets which dissolved into a drinks bottle. It seemed good, much better than just water. With Ennerdale being the double AL race next year, and it’s the traditional thirstiest race of them all, it may well be worth trying something out at Pendle, and having your chosen energy drink at CP9, before the final big climb. Whatever – I’ll take any supplies of food and drinks that you give me beforehand, I’ll be lurking around the carpark before the start.
If anyone can contribute with proven drinks recommendations, please help out!
Hope Moors and Tors – results.
