Kilkenny 115 Cycling Challenge White Route

The White Route will also depart the Dicksboro GAA Clubhouse at Palmerstown (Sat Co –ords ….) and travel via Lord Edward St and the Granges Road to join the Freshford Rd. (R693). Twelve kilometres of mainly flat road will bring the riders to Freshford where they will turn right onto R 694 and head for Ballyragget. From Ballyragget they approach the only significant climb of the day on their route to Castlecomer and the Refreshment stop. This portion of the route will also be transversed by the Maroon route. On exiting Castlecomer the cyclists take a right turn to travel towards Paulstown where they join the R 712, the former Carlow/Kilkenny main road. Riders will return via Clara and the Ring Road to Palmerstown.
