I've signed up for this cyclosportive a couple of months ago and was wondering if any one else was as mad as me :biggrin:.
I've read last years reviews and everyone was raving about it. The tour can be found here http://www.tourofireland.eu/home.htm The mileage is around 450 miles over 4 days with the worst day running at 138 miles. Hopefully the sun will be on our side, as Ireland is renown for the wet weather.

As we say here in Ireland: If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes.

If we have to wait 10 minutes everytime it rains - the tour could take weeks :biggrin:

Who said anything about stopping? You'll dry up again after a shower has passed.

Thanks HLaB - I'll bear that in mind whilst packing by bag. Bib shorts and a lightweight waterproof jacket although I have terrible trouble putting on/ taking off the jacket on the move.

Cheers jags - I've read all the reviews and was very tempted to this last year, but just didn't have the required fitness that early in the year. I'm doing my best to keep pedalling throughout the winter.
