I'd like to do this but it clashes with the Tri An Mhi Half Ironman. It's supposed to be a good day out.

Brian the 100 k is handy enough just one steep climb. also the is a food stop and you can have a rest. the rest of the stage is flat. the only problem is that is a day before the nps xc race so not sure if i do it. Did it last year and it was a great course some super fast decending from the 9 stones to kiltealy.
