Cork to Cobh 15mi race? can a yank do it?

(i know this is the england racing thread but i didnt see a specifically ireland one)

Hi,

I'll luckily be in ireland biking at the end of september and wondering for the beginning of october. i'm in cork for a few days and noticed that the Cork-Cobh 15 mile road race will be going on.

Has anyone done this? can you tell me any stories, any advice...Thanks!
