The Irish road racing season gets underway next Saturday, with two promotions - in Leinster and Ulster - and stickybottle.com is delighted to be sponsoring one of those, the Mick Lally Memorial by Dublin Wheelers.

The sponsorship follows on from our backing of Dany Blondeel's 'Belgian Project' in recent years and also supporting the Mondello Series, Co Kildare, when it was saved from lapsing last year.

At the Mick Lally promotion next Saturday, February 28th, there will be three races on the card - the Mick Lally Memorial for C1s, the Ian Gallahar Memorial for C2s and the Willie Marks Memorial Race for C3s. Race headquarters is at the Summerhill Community Centre, Enfield Rd, Summerhill.

The racing unfolds over the 22.7km Dorey’s Forge circuit. The action will start from race HQ, with the races neutralised for 1.4km to the official start at Elliott’s garage on the Dunboyne road.

From there, the racing goes in the direction of Dunboyne before turning left at Mullagh cross roads after 6km and heading in the direction of Dunshaughlin.

When the racing reaches the Trim road it goes left and down Warrenstown before swinging left again at Grange crossroads. It then goes up the steep Dorey’s Forge ramp, before completing the circuit shortly after that hill. Sign on is from 9am to 10am.

The Mick Lally Memorial will be just under four laps for a total race distance of 87.8km, with the event finishing at the top of the Dorey’s Forge climb on the fourth passage. The Ian Gallaher is three laps and the Willie Marks takes in two laps; both with the same finish.
