The route for the 2009 Wicklow 200
shows some alterations from last year.
The principal changes are as follows.
(1) From Sally Gap to Hollywood by way of Kilbride - Blessington Lakes, (leaving out Lugalla and Wicklow Gap.) This brings us back to the West Wicklow terrain which was a standard part of all the earlier events.
(2) From Drumgoff Bridge to Rathdrum by way of the mountain road, commonly referred to by local cyclists as Glenmalure or the "Shay Elliott".
This is new territory for the W200 and is probably the only remaining climb of note in Wicklow that has never featured.
Donard and Rathdrum remain as the main checkpoints and with intermediate "watering holes" at Kilbride and Slieve Maan.
A map on www.wicklow200.ie will make it plainer and a full description of the route, with intermediate distances will be published in the near future.
The route for the Wicklow 100 remains the same as 2008.
