2026 Tour of Kildare

Over 40 Orwell cyclists signed up for the Tour of Kildare which took place today. It is a great event that brings you to the Curragh, Athy and back to Naas. Not too many hills in evidence so the climbing legs were left at home.

There were two distances - 118 km and 65 km so we split into 4 groups 118 km Amber and Yellow and 65 km Yellow and White.

Despite the forecast of heavy rain and possibly thunderstorms we all got around with only a small amount of rain to trouble us. A tasty burger awaited us at the finish line. Definitely a good option for next year.
