Welcome

This year's slogan is : West Cork has Roads, Cycle them.

Welcome to The West Cork 200.
It will be held on Sunday 24th June 2012. Registration will open at 6.30am and we intend to have everyone on the road by 7.00am.

The course for 2012 will broadly follow the same as last year. Starting in Baltimore, Left at Old Court, Ballydehob, Schull,Goleen, Barleycove, Over to the North side of the Mizen, Durrus (Main food stop) Kilcrohane, Bantry, and then up the Mealagh Valey. Yes! Up the Mealagh! For those of you who haven’t done it, it's most beautiful and tough, very tough. It’s a long almost unremitting climb for 16km and then a “ski slope” down into a what can only be described as lush subtropical countryside. If you can do this, anything the Wicklow 200 throws at you will be a piece of cake. So come on, it’s a challenge but really really worth it. From there to Castledonovan, Drimoleague, Drinagh, Leap, Skibbereen, and finish in Baltimore.
