Hi Stef

The plan is to do something similar this year. With the level of interest so far we will have a few groups at different speeds. The start is moved to Merrion Square this year so closer to the event I will post a meeting point and times.

Looking forward to seeing everyone for the GDBR

Eamonn

Registration for the Great Dublin Bike Rides ends tomorrow Sunday so make sure you don’t miss the deadline.

Our meeting place on the day will be just beside the side entrance to the car park for the Clayton Hotel ( Old Burlington Hotel ) on Burlington Road. We will split into groups for the 65 and 105 routes and different speeds. From there we can cycle to the start on Merrion Square together. Watch the forum for a meeting time closer to the event date.

Eamonn,
The first wave starts at 8am from Merrion Square. My sense is that we would need to be there (at the start) at least 30 mins beforehand. This would mean leaving the Burlo at around 7:20am to head to Merrion Square.
What do you think?

Hi all

I received my event pack in the post yesterday so if you went for that option hope yours has arrived. If not dont forget to collect yours before the big day.

I agree with Stef that we need to be at the start line for 7.30 so arrangements as follows:

Great Dublin BIke Ride

Date Sunday Sept 23rd

Meeting point - Burlington Road, side entrance to car park for Clayton Hotel

Meeting time 7.10 for a 7.15 departure to the start line.

We will split into one group for the 65 and white, yellow and fast yellow / orange groups for the 105

See you all on the big day.

**REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT BOOKED YET**

Hi Eamon,

I'd suspect there would a white group doing the 105km route as it is a nice flat course with less climbing (361m) than most summer sportives.

See you Sunday

Hi All,
A good few people have been onto me directly about arranging a second meeting / start point for tomorrow. Therefore, there will be an option to start at The Point at 8am. All Orwell participants are welcome to join us there if it suits? For clarity, Eamonn will still be meeting at the side of the Burlo ('Clayton Hotel') at 7:10am.
Thanks

Stef

Great to see such a strong representation from Scott Orwell Wheeles on the Great Dublin Bike Ride today. Thankfully the weather was perfect and the anticipated storm never materialized. Well done to all and thanks for making it such an enjoyable mornings cycling.

Big thanks to Eamonn for organising the groups and drumming up interest in this event.

It was great to see so many Orwell on the road and in such pro looking groups too!

Second that. Without Eamonn's organization I'd never have got together with the select group of 'standard class" Yellows who shepherded me round the route a lot faster than I'm accustomed to!

It was a great day, thank you Eamon for organizing the groups. You must be hoarse from shouting "steady" all day. :-)
