The Gorey Three-Day always attracts a quality field with some gruelling and unpredictable racing. Usher Irish Road Club have advised those interested in taking part this year to enter as soon as possible.
Entries are now open for the ever-popular Gorey Three-Day stage race which takes place over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, April 4th-6th.
With just over two months to go to the event for A2 and A3 riders, organisers are urging those planning to compete to get their applications in as soon as possible.
The event, which is in its 49th year, will once again be capped at 180 riders and already there has been huge interest from clubs.
The event starts on Easter Saturday and will follow the traditional route to Gorey from St Kevin’s Community Centre in Blessington

Less than a minute separated the top eight last year, with the lead changing hands on a number of occasions before Mark Reilly (Lucan CRC) took the spoils despite the best efforts of Robin Seymour (Expert Cycles).
