    Could be interesting! Open to all? No club affiliation just a Boards buddies arrangement?

    yeah, Declan, Ronny and I are members of AudaxIreland, and we feel that this is an easy introduction to long distance cycling, we also hope to run 2 other 100ks this spring. This is not an Audaxireland event though, so no memberships or Cycling Ireland memberships are necessary, and is, essentially a spin for boards browsers and their friends. It is self supported, so people will have to look after punctures and repairs themselves, tho i have never passed a cyclist in distress, without stopping to offer help.

    might tag along to this if i get the bike repaired by the weekend

    don't know if i'll be able for 100k though, been an awful long time since i was out for any kind of a spin, but i'll just drop out if it gets to much

    Wouldn't mind doing that but unfortunately I'll be tied up with Galway cycle training, if your heading through maynooth / kilcock at around 10am be prepared to bump into about 80/90 slow moving cyclists

    If you can do 30 on your own you'll manage 60 with a group and at the 60km point you'll be on the way home so will have no choice but to plough on. Positive thinking!

    Would love to do one later on, back on bike after being off through injury since October, only doing commuting this month so not fit enough for 100k.

    If there are any later on I would love to do some.

    I'd also be interested in these types of spins once I get some more miles under my belt. Good to know there's a few like minded individuals.

    following a few inquiries, pace will not be fast, but if people want to belt on, thats fine, this is all about getting out with a group, riding safely in a bunch, enjoying the spin, if people dont want to go the full route, thats fine, they can turn around whenever. Hopefully, the w*****r remains good
