SUMMARY:‘Knock ME Down’ Adventure Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Date TBC.\nThis multi-disciplinary event involves Cycling\, Running\, (or walking) and Kayaking. As multi-sport events go\, this is well suited to anybody with a reasonable level of fitness. The entire course is on well marked roads and forestry tracks so getting lost will not be an issue. The start and finish of the challenge is at the GAA field in the village of Newcastle\, not too far from the towns of Clonmel and Cahir\, Co. Tipperary. You can find an outline of the course below. \nSign-In on the morning of the event will be 30 minutes prior to the starting time slot you choose. Starting time slots are available in 10 minute intervals from 9am for MÓR and 9.30am for Challenge participants. There are changing and shower facilities available at the GAA grounds. \nThe breakdown of the Challenge event is as follows: \n• 15km Cycle from Newcastle to Kilballyboy Wood car park/picnic site on Vee Road outside Clogheen\n• 2.5km run/walk from Kilballyboy Wood to Bay Lough\n• 0.5km kayak around Bay Lough\n• 2.5km run/walk from Bay Lough to Kilballyboy Wood car park (different return route)\n• 15km Cycle back to Newcastle \nRoute map for Knock Me Down Challenge by Diarmaid Condon on plotaroute.com The breakdown of the MÓR event is as follows: \n\n4km Loop Run out of and back to Newcastle\n15km Cycle from Newcastle to Kilballyboy Wood car park/picnic site on Vee Road outside Clogheen\n2.5km run/walk from Kilballyboy Wood to Bay Lough\n0.5km kayak around Bay Lough\n2.5km run/walk from Bay Lough to Kilballyboy Wood car park (different return route)\n33km Cycle  via the Vee and Mount Melleray back to Newcastle\n\nRoute map for KnockMeDown Mór by Anthony Murphy on plotaroute.com Knock ME Down Challenge Event Description:\nThe Bike Part \nAfter the first 15km cycle you will be at your first time point which is located in the Kilballyboy Wood car park/ picnic area along the Vee road outside Clogheen. There will be bike stands set up here where you simply hang your bike by the saddle on a bar and off you go on your scenic 2.5k run to Bay Lough lake. Don’t worry about your bike\, there will be plenty of marshals at this location to keep them safe (and there will be a service vehicle available should you have any mechanical difficulties.) There is also a water stop at each changeover point. \nUp At The Lake….. \nThe 15 minute interval starting time slots are to avoid a time delay waiting for Kayaks at the Bay Lough section. All Kayaks and associated safety equipment will be provided by the Knockmealdown Active team. Everybody will get a single ‘sit on’ Kayak to paddle around the lake. There will be floating markers placed around the lake which you will have to stay inside. Local folklore dictates that the lake is bottomless. You may also need to keep a lookout for a lady called ‘Petticoat Loose’ who\, if the stories are to be believed\, will come up out of the lake and pull you under……. So best keep as close as you can to the edge\, just in case! If anyone gets in trouble out there we have a Cahir River Rescue team on standby so there is really nothing to worry about. If you really don’t fancy the Kayak section you can skip it entirely. On doing this you will get the slowest Kayak time on the day\, with another 10 mins added to cancel out any advantage you may gain with all that extra energy saved! The Kayak section should take\, on average\, about 7 minutes to complete. \nWhat Goes Up……… \nAs you get out of your Kayak… with your hands crying out for a break\, its time to get back onto the tracks and start your run/walk back down to the Kilballyboy Wood car park. It’s a different track down so keep following the signs and follow instructions from the friendly marshals. \nHome Straight \nOnce you get back to the Bike Park at Kilballyboy Wood\, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you now have a 1.5km descent towards Clogheen to look forward to before you cycle the remaining 13.5km of a generally flat road back to Newcastle. Here you will have your final ‘Dibber’ point to finalise your time for your entire Challenge and you will be given your time and place in the event at that time. \nAt the Finish \nA cool-down massage will be available for all competitors\, along with shower facilities and changing rooms. So you’ll have no excuses when heading to GAA Hall. Here you can enjoy a well earned BBQ and maybe sample a refreshing beer from our event sponsors\, the ‘Eight Degrees’ brewing company\, while you await results of other competitors. \nKnock ME Down MÓR Event Description:\nThe Knock ME Down MÓR event has all of the original Knock ME Down Challenge event but with an added running route at the start and an extended cycling route at the end. \nAt the Start: Before the first cycle\, MÓR participants will take a 4km loop run out of Newcastle and back to the GAA hall. \nFrom here the participants will then undertake the full Knock ME Down Challenge route as far as the Bike Park at Kilballyboy Wood. \nAt the End: On leaving the bike park\, instead of turning right and heading back to Newcastle\, participants will turn left. This road travels upward over the picturesque Vee\, past Baylough\, on to the former Cats Bar. Here there is a left turn\, climbing past Mount Melleray to the crest of the hill over Newcastle. The event finishes with a breathtaking descent back to Newcastle village. \nSee how we got on in 2021.
