Just wondering if any of the Irish based members here are taking part in tomorrows BDO Get Back challenge ride from Limerick to Doonbeg.
Three time TDF champion Greg LeMond and Sean Kelly are both riding it. Departs Clarion Hotel at 11.00am tomorrow. This event is to raise money for cancer charities - which Greg LeMond and kelly have both supported for many a year. Looking forward to the event.

Any Ireland-based riders ride this event?
I was fortunate enough to be able to ride this event. Weather conditions were terrible - very heavy rain all day and the gale force wind. Conditions were unfortunate because we have been getting great weather (by Irish standards). Very enjoyable spin - not least the fact that a 3 time TDF winner and 4 time TDF green points winner were also suffering.
