Sign in opens from 8:30am and all cyclists must present themselves at sign in desk on the morning.
Cyclists can choose on the day from two routes and both routes start at 9:30am. The initial start will be controlled by a lead car until cyclists have passed through the town of Tuam and head out the Ballygaddy Road.
The 100km route will head towards Foxhall, Hollymount, Ballinrobe, before turning towards Clonbur, where the food stop will be set up at Clonbur Community Centre, which is at 55km. Departing Clonbur, cyclists will then face a short climb before heading towards Cong, Cross, Glencorrib, Shrule, Headford and then return to Tuam (via Caherrlistrane and Sylane). This route will suit regular cyclists and although no major climbs, there are quite a few rolling hills with a total elevation of approx 550m.
The 50km route is suitable for novice cyclists and will also head towards Foxhall, where cyclists then turn left towards Dalgan with the refreshment stop in Shrule. After a short climb out of Shrule, cyclists will then turn towards Caherlistrane before returning to Tuam via Sylane and in the Weir Road.
When cyclists return to Tuam, they will finish at Trinity Primary School Gym where light refreshments will be provided.
