Date: Sunday 12th August 2007  - Time: 8am

105 Mile - 10,000ft ascent

I suppose the best way to describe the Sportive is 30 mile with 3000 ft of climbing bolted on to the Hilly 125, an event already counted by most to be the toughest leisure tour in Ireland.

Departing from the main 125 route near Hilltown the Sportive heads west before tackling some testing hills on the way to Rostrevor passing through most of the best of scenery the Mournes have to offer. From Rostrevor its back to Spelga to rejoin the 125. For the Sportive only there is another refreshment halt at Meelmore Lodge on the Trassey Road.

 HQ Start/Finish: Dromara Village Football club
