The 200km challenge ride around the Garden County of Ireland and its 100km sibling Wicklow 100 are among Ireland’s most popular annual sports events with more than 3000 people taking part in the fully-subscribed event this year.
Registration opens Wednesday, November 1st when entrants will be able to benefit from an 'early bird' discount price.
"Last year's event was over subscribed so we recommend that riders get their entries in early to avoid disappointment," says event organiser Alan Heary. "There's an extra incentive in the form of the early bird discount, not to mention the knowledge that your goal has been set and you can focus fully on getting the winter base miles in with a clear objective in mind."
