Mick Byrne Randonee 2011
The club will run the 4th annual Mick Byrne Randonee on Sunday May 22nd. Mick was a founder member and the main driving force behind the early development of the club. He died in 2007, aged 81 and the Mick Byrne Randonee is staged in his honour.
Any surplus made on the running of the event will be donated to the Irish Hospice Foundation in recognition of the tremendous care Mick received in his final weeks of his life. In 2010 we were proud to be able to donate €1,300.
The 200k will start at 8am, the 160km at 9am, and the 100k will start at 10am. All routes leave from and finish at Dalkey United FC, Hyde Road, Dalkey (behind Cuala GAA). Please note that the 200k is over an extremely difficult route. It is all climbing with no respite. See here for a profile of all but the last 10k of the course.
Entry is €20 on the day or €15 if pre-entered. Pre-entry is encouraged, as depending on how may pre-enter, we may decide to close entries when we reach a number that we feel is beyond what we can cater for well. We will also operate a separate check-in desk for those who have pre-entered, making for an easier start for them on the day. A standard Audax entry form can be used and is available (download here). The address is on the form. (Note ..no additional temporary CI licence fee applies to the event, but you will need to sign-on on the day to avail of insurance cover for the event)
Those who have taken part in a Sorrento Audax or Randonee event will know what good value this event will be so make it part of your plans.
