I am planning to go one weekend this summer to watch some irish road racing a mate. Can anyone recommend a good race to watch?
The dates are here http://www.irishbikeracing.com/dates.php ( scroll down a bit )
We were planning to catch the ferry across from pembroke to rosslare then possibly have a nice ride through ireland for a few hours to a course.
Can anyone offer any tips or advice on which race might make a good weekend to go to watch.
Thanks a lot

HAS to be mate.
The big one is on this weekend NW200

Kirkistown is always good, i would have a look on youtube, no shortage of videos to give you an idea of the events.
i went to skerries last year and planning on going again this year (early july) en route to Dublin but if not then
it’ll be Killalane in Sept after the kids go back to school
