Hi Ted

Ah relaxed pace ... lets see who turns up . Wont be snails nor eyeballs out.

Min 20 max 25 kph, as I said the group standard will dictate, will want to keep everyone together.

Interested ??

Heisenberg1 · 29-10-2014 9:42pm

Might be interested would the route go anywhere close to rochestown ave or anywhere nearby?

ted1 · 29-10-2014 10:04pm

I'm interested, but can't commit to anything till Friday evening/Saturday.

I'm out in killiney so not a million miles from Rochestown Avenue, if I can make it, we could meet up at say 8:30ish and head on over to ballaly then.

Sounds good let me know if it suits.

Bikerbhoy · 29-10-2014 10:12pm

Wouldn't really be going down towards Rochestown, but could pick you up in Shankill as we would be rolling through there about 9.15/30 ish if that suited

Some hills yes ,which riders will take at their own pace after which we will regroup and carry on. Nobody will be put under pressure.

As I had proposed this as an easy intro spin for those who are unsure about their fitness etc we will be going no further than Enniskerry and we will be basically covering various roads around the Shankill Rathmichael area. We can expect to do about 60 k.

Hauki · 01-11-2014 11:14pm

I am like 90% that I'll be joining as well. Will make the final call in the morning and will show up if all is good.

manafana · 01-11-2014 11:32pm

It is to be dry as far as I can see, see your there

Jk_Eire · 01-11-2014 11:41pm

Am I right in thinking it's about a 3.5 hour or less trip ?

Bikerbhoy · 02-11-2014 12:19am

Ah no worries we got there about 9.20 ish waited til half and then pulled off . . We were however wondering about a racer parked outside the Step Inn bar door and guessed if that was you maybe you needed a pint more than a cycle therefore we decided to leave well enough alone . .
see you next time

Bikerbhoy · 02-11-2014 2:41pm
