The race is on the "Dromin" circuit (Same circuit used in 2021 & 2022, Strava routes below) It's a challenging route that has it all! rolling roads, pan flat smooth tarmac, small climb up Dromin and a technical descent. (It's been described as an "Honest riders circuit") For those brave enough to make a move on the last climb, a 3km descent awaits, through two small roundabouts 1km out.
