Sunday Cycles
The Kelly Cruise - 50km - STARTING AT 10.30AM
The Kelly Cruise, at 50 km, is a gentle tester for those who spend a good bit of time in the saddle. For those, however, who are not used to doing much cycling, this is a really good test, and particularly suitable for family participation. Note, however, that participants must be aged 10 or over on 29th August 2010.
The Kelly Coast - 90km - STARTING AT 9.30AM
The Kelly Coast exits the start area close to Dungarvan Sports Centre and heads for Abbeyside, Barnawee Bridge and the open road. Even though this route is slightly shorter than the Kelly Legacy (the route which it replaces) it is designed for the touring cyclist who has possibly decided to step up the training regime from having participated in the Kelly Cruise in previous years. It is an extremely scenic route, but covers quite hilly terrain and your training programme should reflect this.
The Kelly Comeragh Challenge - 160km - STARTING AT 8.30AM
The Kelly Comeragh Challenge is the tough, tough part of the tour and not for the fainthearted. Almost 160 km (100 miles) in length, it includes two Category One climbs Seskin Hill and Mahon Falls. It follows, in large part, the route of the Kelly Legacy but dips into the Comeragh Mountains on a couple of occasions to fully test the strength, perseverance and stamina of the riders.
