smacl · 23-04-2014 1:52pm

Given the glorious weather, snuck out for a leisurely lunch time spin up to Johnny Foxes via Stepaside and back down via Cruagh. Only 22kph average, but a truly enjoyable 68kph coming down the last bit of Pine forest road.

lismore7 · 23-04-2014 10:22pm

dakar · 23-04-2014 11:01pm

I sat watching this thread with envy all weekend while I was on call for work and ye all got out in the sunshine. I got out for a short run this evening (22k @ 27kph) to stretch my legs. Looking forward to getting a decent cycle in this weekend.

Zyzz · 23-04-2014 11:44pm

Short 50km today, managed 5th on a segment in Howth

Also noticed Im 13.1km off 10,000km cycled all time!

2 Wheels Good · 24-04-2014 12:38am

Did a loop from Glengarriff to the Priests leap from the Cork side. Enjoyed rain, hail and sun in my 2 hours out! Only 42k but a decent bit of climbing.

godtabh · 24-04-2014 6:59am

Cold but pleasent 45km at an average of 30.5km. Summer is coming!

Alek · 24-04-2014 9:05am

40km extended spin into work around Malahide, Swords, the airport and into town. What a lovely morning for it, so ready for the summer!!!

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 24-04-2014 10:58pm

Attempted to cycle up athgoe Hill. Mistake. Think I'm still a bit green around the gills for it. Nearly made it, the last bit killed me and I had to pull in. Definitely pushed myself as hard as I could so happy with my effort. It'll act as a good yard stick for my progress. It's nice and close to me so it'll be satisfying when I can get to the top.

Threw in an extra 25 km for good measure after the failed Hill attempt to make the spin worth it. All in all a nice evening.

surripere · 24-04-2014 11:46pm

Tough hill that, right nasty little ramp at the end. Good man, keep at it

wirelessdude01 · 24-04-2014 11:48pm

Athgoe from any side is a b@stard of short nasty hill.

jober · 25-04-2014 9:49am

nangor rd - Newcastle, athgoe over kilteel to britas then over balnascorney to tallaght

That's an impressive solo run. Well done!

I've managed to knock out 209.7 since Monday by extended commutin' but I am on target for the month.
Most of it done on my Boardman (I think LPB would be chuffed that it has been well used. 1,900 ish km since January!)

Bleedin' Strava badges own me and next month looks a b_1_tch

Indeed - only did one so far - Ardattin 200.

(I do shiftwork and tend to work a lot of weekends which makes organised cycles difficult to do).

furiousox · 26-04-2014 1:46pm

Just back from a Drogheda-Naul-Stamullen-Julianstown-Bettystown-Drogheda spin.
Was hard to stay upright at times around the Naul between the greasy road and the crosswind.
Nearly lost it on a gritty corner, so was extra cautious after that.
No PBs today

smacl · 26-04-2014 1:55pm

Very heavy crosswinds on the featherbeds this morning as well. Trying to stay on the right side of the road was a challenge.

nak · 26-04-2014 3:04pm

Figured the track was a lost cause, so stuck the knobbly tyres back on the cyclocross bike and headed to Phoenix Park. Great fun, but sadly felt like winter again.

Inquitus · 26-04-2014 3:11pm

Very fast going west!

Sarz91 · 26-04-2014 4:17pm

60km with a decent amount of climbing involved. Really windy day. First enjoyable spin since getting to the Lake District.http://www.strava.com/activities/134339160

Shedite27 · 26-04-2014 5:37pm

It was windy today

Cookie_Monster · 27-04-2014 5:56am

just clocked up 20,000km on strava today with an easy 50km

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 27-04-2014 12:29pm

45km today. Decent average speed of 27km/hr and managed it without a stop. Bit of a breeze out there which was ****e. My endurance is getting better, getting further into the cycle before I feel like collapsing. Yay.

Weepsie · 27-04-2014 12:44pm

70 km from Navan Road - Leixlip - Maynooth - Dunboyne - Kilbride and a few km around the Phoenix park. Averaged 27.5 km/hr. I was expecting rain around 10 oclock but it got gradually nicer, a bit of a headwind at times and 30k-35 was a slog but grand thereafter

godtabh · 27-04-2014 12:45pm

Nice 90km today. Stepaside, John Foxs, Enniskerry, Glencree, Sallygap,Largh, Roundwould, Enniskerry and home.

I wonder how many of those names I spelt right?

All but two I think.

Quick 49k spin before LBL http://www.strava.com/activities/134690853

t'bear · 27-04-2014 3:04pm

Nice club spin (80k) with some hills. Got home and I am 20k off my Strava Specialized challenge. D'oh. Must resist not going back out.

G rock · 27-04-2014 5:38pm

Inspired by lusk doyle's training log, I went out today after a seven month kid-induced hiatus.

103km.

No legs but very very happy to be out!

LennoxR · 27-04-2014 6:03pm

Was going down the Sally Gap today towards Kilbride, saw a load of people going up it, many in Bray Wheelers gear. A marshal at the top said it was a sportive. Does anyone know what this was? Just curious.

Mercian Pro · 27-04-2014 7:41pm

Great to see so many cyclists on the Military Road this morning including one Boardsie with An Post shorts. Came back from Laragh via the Old Long Hill which was much quieter then the main road and more sheltered than up on the Military Road. First venture into Wicklow this year after building up the mileage in NCD and Meath. Just short of 100k round trip from Glasnevin.

zindicato · 27-04-2014 9:40pm

60 last week forgot to post and 113 today with 2 new guys first time for them to climb up sally gap and wicklow gap normally they just go up the viewing point and back down..... lots of babysitting time/ motivational talk time hehehehe but they made it in the end :-) and one of them is raring to go back again next weekend:-)

DD Mikasa · 27-04-2014 9:54pm

72 km, predominantly around Howth. Did 5 and a half summits from various angles/approaches. Did the Tour de Foothills a few weeks back and had a bad day that day. Was grand up the hills today so reckon was just down with something that day. Just never had legs, but no issues today so pleased

purple cow · 27-04-2014 10:43pm

Navan Road - Rathfarnham - Sally Gap - Kilteel - Athgoe - Lucan. 82km. Avg 21.3kmh. Nice tailwind heading along Military Road to Sally Gap. The hill at Kilteel nearly killed me. 11% gradient for 1.1km

ROK ON · 28-04-2014 8:57am

15k with 9year old daughter yesterday afternoon. Took in some pretty tough hills but she came through very well, if a little tired. We stopped at the top of each rise for her to get her breath back.
The downhill was fun but I am having trouble getting her to descend in the drops - will come with time I suppose.
Lovely evening for it.

burger1979 · 28-04-2014 12:29pm

This was mine - http://www.strava.com/activities/134643071

Met some cyclists from Drogheda at the top of Tullyallen, just outside Slane. Would like to say thanks to them for the little kick up the bum I needed after I had gotten to the top and stopped for a breather.

dakar · 28-04-2014 1:30pm

Lots of firsts this morning.

My first 70k+ (73 all in @24kph), my first sustained 3 hours on the bike, my first spin in clipless pedals, my first grazed knee from falling off due to clipless pedals...

2406r · 28-04-2014 1:49pm

Blackrock - rathfarnham-stocking lan-sally gap- laragh - wicklow gap-lacken-ballydonnell - ballysmuttan- manor kilbride- brittas - templeogue - blackrock - first day with no tights so toes were cold .. all in all it was grand after the first 120k or so

secman · 28-04-2014 4:09pm

house-ballaygarrett-courtown-ballymoney-Tara-Arklow-Gorey-Ballycanew-Killenagh- house, A solo 68.5 km, got my average up another .5 km to 22.8 kmh. Hopefuly back to 25kmh + soon . Not a bad day after a gloomy morning. Head wind to Arklow, but sat up (sail effect) all the way back. A girl in SERC p.ssed pass me just coming out of Arklow, tried to go after her, caught her on the downwards. but got dropped on a few drags.... She headed straight into Gorey, thank God...... Enjoyed the chase......... long time since i chased anything !

blobbie · 28-04-2014 4:41pm

1st time past Sally Gap.

D12 - Stocking Lane/Military Road - Sally Gap - Laragh - Glendalough - Roundwood - Sally Gap - Stocking Lane/Military Road - D12

95km with 1,500m @ 21

Mental note to self, take Lough Dan descent from Sally Gap and ascend from Laragh side. The climb by Lough Dan nearly did for me after 70kms in the legs.

Must give Wicklow Gap a pop some day soon.

According to RWGPS I need another 1,102m for 100,000m climbing. The things ye do to enjoy a beer
