Right, at long last this has just been made official yesterday I think? 29th September - Ballyhoura - 75km
There is a support race of 35km for anyone who prefers not to have a saddle imprint on their backside for a week afterwards.
I got the green light for it last night, so its bye bye strava hunting, hello long endurance rides now for the next 2 months.
Anyone else fancy it?
Some early info on the event:

If you've never been down before, Ballyhoura is probably the longest trail centre in the world ever. I went a few years ago and it was boring and the trails were wide and smooth. I went again the summer before last to race the Singlespeed world champs, thinking I was going to smoke everyone on my wee rigid steel bike. Oh Boy was I wrong, it had roughened up and matured brilliantly and was a fabulous ride, but hard on the arms with the rigid fork.
