Just bumping this up. This years registration has opened. This years route is far more suited to my locality. I've been in contact with the organisers to get some more information. I think I'm going to do the first 5 days and bail around Cookstown and ride home as I've a family holiday that weekend. Ballyshannon or Ballina would be harder to ride home from. Here's the 2018 route for those who may be interested..
