The Wicklow 200 is run by theIVCA.

Hi, all you W200 cyclists,
With the freeze at an end, we hope, you might be thinking of getting out
on your bikes once again. If you've been off the bike for a number of
weeks start off with a few easy spins.

Plans for 2010 are moving along and we will keep you updated on
our website www.wicklow200.ie. As you will have seen we are moving
the start / finish to Greystones in Co. Wicklow.
We are aware that the move will be off putting for some while for
others it will make things easier. We are sure that some of the issues
in UCD can be improved in the Greystones facility.

Over the coming weeks and months Karen Doyle, a Physical Therapist
and member of the Irish Association of Physical Therapists based
in Booterstown, Co Dublin, will give tips on stretching and
strengthening to help prevent injury during your cycle training.

Karen worked on the Rás in 2008 with the Dundrum Orwell team,
and in 2009 with the Irish National Team. She regularly works
with the National Senior and Junior Track teams at training camps
and competitions.
If you have any questions regarding her advice, or have any other
queries she can be contacted at info@mapleclinic.ie or www.mapleclinic.ie

Karen is also offering a 10% reduction off Physical Therapy &
Sports Massage for W200 cyclists.
Although it's early in the year there is a steady flow of
entries coming in so our advice is to enter early and not wait till
the last minute.

Hi All,
Welcome to the 2010 Wicklow 200.

This years event will start and finish in
County Wicklow.
Shoreline Leisure Centre in Greystones is the venue.
Greystones is just 20 Km south of UCD and just off the N11.

While the weather recently has not exactly been great for cycling hopefully
the thought of some summer sunshine in the mountains of County Wicklow
will be motivation to get out on the bike.

The routes will be largely similar to 2009 with the return from Rathdrum
by way of Avoca and Ashford.
The 200 and 100 Km routes are now available on Map my ride.

Online entry is now open and we ask you to enter early.

By entering early you make our job of organising a lot easier.

Full details are available on www.wicklow200.ie
The forum is also there for your comments etc.

Regards,
Admin
