There will likely also be a 240km a day option, plus possibly a 210km a day tour option (not homologated). The former being a min 10km/h for that distance and still being homologised under LRM. The original 175 hour / 7 days 7 hour option of 2016 still being an option. The 240km a day option will depart a couple of days before the 300km a day (ish) version so they will coincide towards the end as riders if either version start to converge.
It will be mandatory route. Live trackers and secret controls like last time.

Damn that looks tempting, 240km a day, homologated by LRM... I wonder what else I have on the wish list for 2020...

What’s the climbing like ? I’d like a go if I can fit it in but would need to think about choice of gear.
I'll be interested to see the reactions to the climbing.

To me it seems clear it is June... where did you read about July?
I can't do June, but I might be able to do July
Ivan did the Transatlantic Way race on fixed, which is basically the opposite way north to south. He may have an opinion on gear choice.
I get a malware warning too!

I've got a wee bit of unfinished business with this one ...
June is a problem for a number of people who can't take annual leave outside school holidays. C'mon guys... you know July is better... ;D

And some of us have family commitments in the school holidays and prefer quieter roads in the tourist areas outside of peak holiday times.

Ooohh... you did it on an ElliptiGO... that explains... :P I passed a guy on one of those this morning, never seen one before... he seemed to put a lot of effort but wasn't going very fast at all... is it just poor technique or they are really inefficient?
For comparison, I was on a 2 speed Brompton with a large bag at the front and was doing twice the speed for seemingly less effort
Oh, I see, it's the other guy on the ElliptiGO
Excited by this ride and have registered interest...... anyone else "worried" about Shermer's neck? It's a little niggle at the back of my mind....
I did start to get twinges on LEL.
Thoughts?
Is the Raid gonig to be LRM homologated?
Is the Raid gonig to be LRM homologated?
Yes, once a brevet goes past 2000km in length, LRM allow the min average speed to drop to 10 km/h, and still be homologated. But Eamon didn't realise this in 2016, so ended up with an event with a higher min average.

Very good to hear. Any reference to where this is stated? I can't seen anything in the LRM rules except that over 1400km is at 12kmph.

Eamon mentioned it, after he'd been chatting with LRM after WAWA 16. I also saw in on the LRM website before it got refreshed.

AIUI there was an LRM rule change, possibly mid-late 2000s, which brought in these speeds (10km/h 1900-2499km, 81/3km/h 2500km+). Details of this were lost in a website crash, and preserved only somewhere in the AUK archives ...
After WAWA 2016 I had a whinge to Eamon, but also to Chris Crossland as UK LRM rep - he took it up with Keith Benton as LRM president, who confirmed that the rules had indeed been changed sometime previously, and at some stage the LRM website was changed to reflect them.
The current LRM website refresh seems to have reverted to the 2003 rules, which (again AIUI) have been superseded WRT to speeds.
The world wide web has an amazing ability to release documents even if initially hidden on the surface
I have found (and retrieved) a PDF copy of the revised LRM constitution and regulations, which clearly has the time limits for 1900-2499km as 10 km/h etc.

Thanks Phil, I'm also contemplating the Raid option as I like the idea of seeing where I'm riding, and maybe the odd pint of black stuff, purely medicinal of course. Do you know if there will be set stages for the Raid and thus defined places for overnight rest? Ideally I would pre-book accommodation if I know where I'll be finishing each day. Not 100% sure I can do it yet as depends on family, but it seems a good target for next year.
1. Thu 25th June - Sat 4th July The Raid version: Average 240km a day. Likely to be a case of making your own sleeping arrangements most days, and pass through a few of the shared sleeping / shelter controls with
More details received on Raid format
Yes you can vary your daily distance each day, subject to minimum overall speeds.
But take into account
1. They hope to have breakfast, tea, coffee, chicken rolls etc. at selected gala or supervalues, each day at a nominal 70km.
2. They hope to have a dinner each day into the raid at nominal 140-160 km
3. In Ballina they are organizing bbq and beers 🍺 it’s also a drop bag stop with showers
So you'll want your overnight stops to enable you to be broadly in line with the above, so you can get the most out of what's being offered for the raid riders.
Well where I'm from in the north west of England dinner would simply be the main meal of the day. Tea would be an early evening meal. I suspect he means sometime in the early to mid afternoon. It wouldn't be evening as you'd still have a nominal 80km to go (that day) at that point. It can't have a tightly bound time as who knows when each rider will get there? So my guess is they'd be a time window each day when "dinner" is available at whatever locations are communicated in advance.
Feck knows would be the answer to that.
We'll have to wait and see as things get officially announced and discussed. Last time there was a variety of food choices but those weren't mid day; apart from Kilrush after the ferry crossing. I had a chicken curry at that shelter control.
It's certainly a cracker of a route. I think the raid version will make a significant difference to the experience if you aren't at the fast end of Audax. Sunrise 5am, sunset 10pm; plenty of opportunity for riding it entirely in daylight if you are up and away early enough each day. Three to four hours less riding your bike per day, compared to the "classic". Opportunity to adjust how far you ride each day , as long as min average distance / speed met. It'll all add up to reduce how much abuse you give your body day after day.17 hours of daylight seems like enough even for riding 300km a day, because if it isn't the sleep deprivation will be brutal.

Eamon, in 16, warned us to treat 300 as though it was 400 on WAWA. It was wise advice.
The road surfaces can make British roads seem smooth. Not potholes just rough surfaces on the smaller roads. My GPS mount broke on day 3 due to vibration. Though Ring of Kerry (day 2) with EU money has nice surfaces. Fit as wide a tyre as you can within reason, and as low a pressure as you also see fit.
Nadgery as above
The winds can be brutal riding out on the headlands. Think Dutch hills combined with real coastal hills.
On Sunday I'll post a couple of short videos I took of the winds on WAWA 16.
absolutely true, and good advice, almost all road surfaces on the WAW will be very rough, think northern Scotland,

I've expressed interest, depending upon the dateDitto, heard it's an awesome ride from Club mates :thumbsup:
On the previous subtopic of the LRM regs
Updated constitution and regulations are on their website
http://www.randonneursmondiaux.org/files/Constitution_and_Rules_2019.pdf
Just curious, is wild camping allowed in Ireland, like in Scotland? If those sleep halls offer a shower it would make a nice combo of comfort and sleeping rough.
From LRM Rules:
1.5 Rule:
"The distance of the course will be determined by the shortest distance between controls capable of being cycled safely on road. The time limits will be calculated by dividing this distance by the overall minimum [] average speeds applicable."
1.3 Rule "Overall average minimum speeds for events shall be as follows
1.3.3 For events from 1900 to 2499 km: 10 kph"
So riding an average of 240km will get a rider LRM randonneur homologation, I guess, called a 'raid' or whatever.
Hi guys,
Seriously thinking about entering wawa as the route looks both fascinating and terrifying in equal measures!!
Living in North East England was thinking of maybe driving to the ferry in Holyhead and then going across as foot passenger with the bike to Dublin. Just trying to figure out the logistics of getting to the start and back to Dublin after the finish. Anyone with knowledge /experience of travelling on public transport to and from Dublin with a bike?. Is it doable or not worth the hassle? Any advice appreciated
Just received an email that pre-registration (https://www.wawaudax.com/pre-registration.html) is now open for a non-refundable 25 euro. The organisers estimate an upper limit of 300 participants.
Although I really like the 220 hour "raid" option, I haven't jumped the gun (yet) as it requires a SR in 2020 and there is no 600km brevet in the Netherlands before WAWA starts :(
It states "[WAWA is run] under the rules of Audax Club Parisien and Les Randonneurs Mondiaux.", so I guess it's now official that the 220 hour option also results in a LRM homologation? (what can I say, I'm a sucker for awards ;D)
Another question which occurs to me is can the pre-requisite SR series include DIY or perm events?
Bolox. Hadn't noticed the SR qualifying requirement.
That's a load of extra hassle. don't they know who I am?!?
Payment timing isn't ideal
But I think I'm out any way as I can't make an SR fit by that point in the year

Did you not do PBP this year? You can use that for entry to either the 184 hour or 220 hour event.
It worked...
Working out the logistics for some reason picked me up again.
Anyone used Sail&Rail Belfast to Scotland with a bike?
There is a Bus to Ayr but used to be Stranraer, but neither time I used it I had a bike with me

You won't be allowed to take your bike on the bus, the only option you have is train to Stranraer then ride up to Cairnryan.
I've completed Madrid Gijon Madrid in August/2018. Is it enough to qualify for the 184 hours group? I'm in doubt about what means "2018/2019 season":
1 - an ACP season 2018/2019 (the one that begins in November/18 and finishes in October/2019); or...
2 - two full years (2018 and 2019 - 24 months).

If they meant that they would just have said completed in 2018/19 with no mention of a season. Still no harm in asking if they will let you enter.

Note the qualifying SR can now be from 2018, 2019 or 2020

Randonneurs who don't have the qualifying rides but feel they have the chops to take on this event can contact the Organizer and plead their case. If you have the legs, you will be welcome "
Thanks, food for thought.
So recovery after 2 hard days and the shannon ferry timetable.
I was worried that RWGPS was hiding a significant amount of climbing,
I think I'll need to get hitting the 9 hills from hell loop pretty soon after the frosts and ice goes.
Thanks, food for thought.

Essentially yes. Bantry would not be too bad if the first day started at 6:00am. But the 9:00am start means it's a fair push to reach a B&B or Hotel in Bantry not too late in the day. The second day to Dingle will be a good test of the legs. If you wanted a shorter second day you should stop at Castlemaine or Inch then have a longer third day.
Here's Healy Pass looking back south

For day 3 I have an early start planned, the loop round Slea Head, then breakfast back in Dingle, before heading up Conor Pass.
The ferry at Rathmullan doesn't run till 09:40am; so that'll dictate your start time for the day that covers Mamore Gap and Malin head. The terrain in Donegal offers both steep and long; lots to get your teeth into. So don't expect to fly along that section.QuoteI think I'll need to get hitting the 9 hills from hell loop pretty soon after the frosts and ice goes.
Yep, I did a lot of hill work in 2016. A single SR series, plus lots of hillier shorter rides.
Thought entries opened today?
Website still showing pre-reg etc.
On the WAWA Facebook page, Rory O-Connor writes today: 'Pre-registration riders will be contacted shortly with their opportunity to enter.'Thought entries opened today?

Aye, no email though."Wawa was offering preregistration to the randooneurs of the Audax first , From tomorrow it will be open to sportive ultra cyclists etc and anyone with the courage to cycle the epic WAWA ."
The response that follows it confused me further...

No one pre registered will lose a space. It's just taking them longer than planned to get the full registration entry form ready. It'll all be good.
It’s up now... I’m in! Gulp. Seeing as I’ve not done an Audax since PBP, I’d better start getting some miles in!!
For those who haven't seen: the Iona Inn, Derry is once again reserved for WAWA finishers on Sat 4th and Sun 5th. Drop an email or phone Tonya mentioning WAWA to reserve your bed. Last time it was £20 a night if you were happy sharing.Are you sure about the 4th/5th? Start is on the 25th 9am, you get 9 days + 4 hours if you go for the 220 hour version, meaning you'd have to finish before Friday July 3rd, 13:00 Having full use of the place on the 2nd and 3rd would make more sense to me, am I missing something?

Yes, 7 days gets you back to Thursday 9am. Add two more days that's Saturday 9am. Add 4 hours that's Saturday 1pm.
Looks like we are doing some similar roads on the Pan Celtic Race. We start 4th July, though, so probably a week to 10 days later.

Ah, as far up as Dingle but not Slea Head, Conor Pass then east. Roughly the first couple of days of WAWA 220 hour version coastline, minus a few of the headlands we will visit. Hopefully you'll have Healy Pass on your route, lovely alpine like climb.
If you are cycling from Cork, get in touch and I'll send a quiet route (hint: the road from the airport to the city is one to avoid cycling on).
Signed up to the 220h. I live in Cork, 30 km from the start. So just thought I'd share some info.
Getting there:
Anyone flying might be interested in knowing that Cork airport is 6km from Cork city, but also on the road to Kinsale, where the start is. The airport is 20km from Kinsale, so consider going directly to Kinsale, which is a tourist town with lots of restaurants / shops. If you are cycling from Cork, get in touch and I'll send a quiet route (hint: the road from the airport to the city is one to avoid cycling on).
Cork - Kinsale
I did plot a route to cycle from Cork in 2016, but never rode it, as Seamus picked us up from the train station. Can you share a link to a quiet route from Cork Airport to Kinsale ? It looks like I'll be able to get away with just unbolting the seat and handlebars, and taking the rear derailleur off my recumbent, before packaging it up for flight. So not too much to do at the Cork end before I can ride it.
Irish Drivers
In 2016 I actually found the drivers pretty decent, compared to SE England drivers, apart from when we were passing through Sligo. The traffic then was pretty light though, on the roads we went down, don't know what it'll be like four years on.
If you are cycling from Cork, get in touch and I'll send a quiet route (hint: the road from the airport to the city is one to avoid cycling on).
This'll be handy as I'm planning to sailrail it.

Are you planning on arriving in Dublin or Rosslare?
In Dublin, you'll have a few km through the city to get from port to train station.
Rosslare might not work at all. No direct rail from Rosslare to Cork, so you probably will have to go up to Dublin to come back down to Cork!
The Irish leg of the outbound journey will be Heuston to Kent; ideas on how to get from the Stena terminal at Dublin port to Heuston would be handy too.
Return journey will probably be a late train from Derry to Belfast for a morning ferry as Stranraer to Dundee/Leuchars takes most of the day.

Check your day 9, it’s not 262km.It's not is it.
Garages are your secret weapon. A lot of them have a hot deli and seating at the back.I'll need to remember that, attended service too?
But it is not 24hr culture like here. So don’t expect to find much of anything open before 9am. Take stuff from control for first few hours in morning. Though sounds like you are planning later starts and subsequently later finishes each day.I'm thinking on a route of this length and time I'm better sticking closer to my natural day rhythm rather than try and force it off for a week and a half.

Not making it easy for myself, I'm off the bike for a few weeks.
Torn something in my knee.

Oh dear, not the build up wanted. Did you tear it cycling or during some other activity?
