Saturday Spin, 28th June

TinyExplosions

10am Harolds Cross Dog Track, 10:15 Dundrum -I'm hoping the weather clears up, but who else is in if it's not too wet

Raam

probably out, but I should be on for a Sunday one?

Chips Lovell

I'm in and expecting to get wet.

blorg

I'm in unless it is really horrible. Getting a bit fidgety here having been off the bike so much, would be on for a longish one (100km+)?

I'd do a Sunday as well.

Weather forecast isn't exactly great but it is looking like it may reduce to light showers by the weekend.

Marketing Exam resit and Morrissey Concert ... ****ty start and brilliant end of the day ... too bad I can't make it for the spin

Vélo

I'm nearly there. I did my longest spin last night which was 34km.

I'm going on holidays to Ballyvaughan Co. Clare in a couple of weeks and plan on bringing my bike with me.

When I come back I should be ready to meet up with you then.

LDB

I'd be on for a Sunday one I reckon

RobAMerc

any idea how long you guys stay out ?
I have to catch a flight at 1.30

Caroline_ie

I am up for a sunday cycle too ...

DirkVoodoo

I'm up for a saturday and sunday one, provided met eireann doesnt try to foil my plans again...I havent been out on my bike once since i got it!

Raam

Sure tis only rain. Best to get used to it now, because you'll have no choice if it rains while out on one of the rides you sign up to

If the flight leaves at 1.30 you'd be pushing it, but you could always pop out for half an hour and turn back at any time!

any suggestions where i could park the car in dundrum?....

I might do that so, as I am keen to get out with a group.
thanks

Could also park in the old shopping center car park, it's just across the road from the bridge. But you might have to pay for parking there actually.

sooty11

Thanks Verb

jesus i actually forgot that i used to live in harolds cross not so long ago!:o
church car park up the road will be grand!

Caroline_ie

Or just oark on a side street ... the Old Dundrum SC car park is only free the 1st 30 minutes. Unless Sotty is very tired and only decides to cycle 30 minutes, I think a side street might be a better Idea.

dub_skav

Keen on saturday. Will confirm tomorrow

DirkVoodoo

Old car park is pay and display, free for first 30 mins which is always nice for popping into joe daly, but it might be a bit of a stretch for a saturday spin

ollietrex

So whats the distance and pace for the saturday lads (and lasses)? Dont mind being dropped along the way, just dont want to get in the way...

the boss of me

I'd be interested in a Sunday spin, working on Saturday..

Entirely decided on the day... pace is that of the slowest really, and distance is probably a minimum of 50, but possibly 100+, with plenty of oppertunity to turn back if you're gettin tired

barrabus

weather looks okay
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/EIXX0049.html .

Will make up my mind after the physio finshes with my shoulder tonight.

RobAMerc

don't think I will make it lads - I have the flu coming on.
need to keep the strength for the ROK!

I am going to make it one of these days though !

CyaL8r

Hi guys. I meant to try to meet up with ye for a while now. I'm doing the RoK and I'm in much need of getting some mile on the legs. Does anyone travel down from Fairview direction?
Regards.

RedTea

Should be there if the weather is ok.

I live off Amiens Street, which would be on your way in, so I could meet you outside Connolly Station. I have to take a detour via Ranelagh though to drop something in to a mate's house, so I mightn't be much help in showing you the way for future weeks.

Hi el_tonto.
That would be great. Around what time should I be at Connelly for? I must warn you that the longest distance I've done recently is about 30 miles so I might be slowing you up a bit. Would you mind that?

Say 9:40? Should give us enough time to make it out to Dundrum at a reasonable enough pace and get in my little detour. I'll be the tall guy on the black Wilier. I'll wait near where the Luas pulls out of the station.

CyaL8r

Hey el tonto. One of my friends is going to give me a drive down to either Harlds Cross or Dundrum instead so there is no need to wait for me so. Thanks again for the offer and I'll see you at Dundrum so.

Chips Lovell

No problem. See you in Dundrum.
