The South East Road Club announce
details of the inaugural Falling Leaves Classic, which
is to be held on Sunday 22nd August 2010 at 12:00pm.
There are two races planned, a combined race for A2 and
A3 riders, and a separate A4 race. Both will take place
on an exciting new, but tough, course, which includes
multiple ascents of the “New Line” hill, a climb which
has featured recently in the Shay Elliot Memorial race,
the toughest one-day race in the country.
The A2/A3 race will have 4 circuits, for a total
distance of just under 80km. The A4’s will do 3 laps.
The finish will be at the former IFI factory entrance on
the Vale Road.
Race headquarters will be the Woodenbridge Hotel, who
have kindly come on board for the event and opened the
doors of Irelands oldest hotel to welcome cyclists from
around the country. The hotel, which was first
established in 1608, is set in the beautiful Vale of
Avoca, just a few miles from Arklow.
A feature of the races will be the inclusion of King of
the Hills and Sprint primes worth €400, courtesy of our
generous sponsors, The Woodenbridge Hotel, Sprint Design
Inc., Health Matters and Bracken Autobody.
With over €1300 on offer in prize money and primes, and
with the exciting new course featuring a challenging
climb, fast technical descent, a town section through
Arklow and a very fast run-in to a flat finish, here’s
hoping for a day of high quality racing, perhaps some
drama, followed by refreshments in the Woodenbridge
afterwards.
Please check back later for additional details. For more
