The annual Comeragh CC hosted Copper Coast Sportive will this year be held on Saturday April 13th from the Regional Sports Centre Waterford, Eircode: X91AE79 Routes are the same as last year, 70km or 100km. Entry fee will be €15 for Cycling Ireland licence holders and €20 for those who currently aren’t Cycling Ireland members. Registration is from 9.00am to 9.50 am. Group 1, the 100km cycle will roll out at 10.00am while Group 2, the 70km cycle will depart at 10.05am.
Both routes travel from the Regional Sports Centre in Waterford, to the traffic lights at Ballybeg, turning left then and onto the six-cross-roads roundabout, again then turning left towards the Balindud Roundabout and then out the main Tramore road.
