What a novel idea. Two Sportives over the same hills.

First we had the Tour of Ireland not only on the same weekend as our Coastal but also sponsored by our local council and now this!

If someone wants to use the same area they should at the very least hold their run sometime after the established one.

Sometimes it seems as though Dromara being new to Cycling Ireland are fair game.

Some good discussion on the Phoenix board about the route for this sportive.

Hopefully we all may gain a new sportive in the calender, with a new route, at a good time of year, rather than a replication of existing established events.
