    Plan to meet at Dundrum Luas bridge at 09:30 to head to Wicklow (as per ROK_ONs post on the Saturday Spin thread (!). Looks like a couple are in anyway.

    DON'T forget clocks go FORWARD tonight so 09:30 will feel like 08:30...!

    euugh, righto I'll yis there.

    Thanks for the spin fols. Lovely company. Apologies for the early start. Just that i am constrained on the other side.

    Beautiful day, almost no wind, and not cold.
    Met a lot of folk doing a crosscountry half marathon over Djouce on the way to Glendalough - hardy folk.

    Very happy. Would love to have joined Emty heady over the Wicklow Gap, but at that stage was running into time trouble.

    Picture is of a fine group of gentlemen overlooking Lough Tay and the Lugalla Estate.

    136km for me, went out with Orwell and Barrabus (had to catch them as I was a bit late) over the Wicklow Gap and then around by Laragh, Roundwood, back to Laragh via Lough Dan to meet Emty and back over Sally Gap. Bit tired now.

    Good long spin.Went to Enniskerry-Djouce-Sallygap-Kilbride-Wicklow Gap-Laragh-Sallygap and home via Kilikee.Phew! no wonder I'm so tired :).Kind of a two-parter,went out with ROK_ON,Cadex,Petethedrumer and came back with(or more truthfully,behind :D) Blorg and Barabus.Thanks to all for their great company and to the two B's for their patience.Was particularly nice to see Cadex and even nicer to beat him on a climb :).

    Ah mad! Had a great day. Was right to head back when I did, still only getting back to cycling (started this month) so have to be bit smart. That said had great time with ROK-ON, PETETHE DRUMMER and EMPTY. Very nice to see again, you fit git! OK, 100.84 total for me, max 73.5, ave 24.6, cycle time 4:06 - back about 2, from 08:30. Cracking weather, good choice of scheduling - glad went for today. OK see you guys soon - maybe the big event next weekend?
