Best to avoid newry ,e.g head into carlingford and go to newry from there will add 15-20 mins onto your journey
would then take you 1hr 30 mins to get to rostrevor.

Good bit of work into this course best in recent additions, kilbroney drys out well so will be a fast race with good turns and a few technical bits .

Hope to see good turnout
