Boards.ie Rideout dates - please vote

P.C.

Hi

I have put up four dates for a ride out.

This weekend is out for me, as I have to work, and the weekend of the 20th, there is a After Hours beers on.

Once we have an idea of numbers, we can look at routes, etc.

Thanks

P.C.

I picked Sunday 28th because:

1) I still haven't got my bike yet and I want to have it a little while before going out with you crazy fvckers :pac:

2) A lot of guys work saturdays and the roads are generally quieter on a Sunday

Sunday 28 June

great idea

beers nights out is always good but a biking day out is different and dun on a differnt level.....though sunday roads are quieter

weekends are out for me for another year. I'd be up for some random weekday evening while the days are still long though

I won't be able to make the 27th or the 28th because I'm racing in Mondello on the 28th.

But why don't you guys meet up on the Sunday and come down to Mondello to watch some of the racing? I think you might enjoy it!

OK, I am working on the route, should have a map ready just now.

P.C.

OK, here is a little route that I have come up with.

That should keep us busy for a while.

Looks good man!

Good route! Pity you're not stopping by Mondello though...

KamiKazi

Looks like a decent spin, wheres the meet up point?

If memory serves it looks like the petrol station about 200 metres up the Rock Road from the Merrion Gates.

Dunno if there's much space there-could also meet up at the car park outside Booterstown Dart station if needs be.

But that all depends on numbers I guess.....

P.C.

^^

The petrol station (I think it is a Texaco) is a good option, I am pretty sure there is space for a few bikes to meet there, and we could get a coffee while we wait for everyone.

Is everyone on for Sunday the 28th?

KamiKazi

The 28th sounds good.

Any chance of meeting somewhere easy to find? Me not being a dub and not knowing well at all :pac:

Give me a moment, and I will find somewhere easy for a few stops. That way people will be able to join before we head out of Dub.

I'll be wobbling along on a CB400 so I doubt you'll have trouble keeping up with me :P

only catching up on this thread now - holidays et al:pac:.

Date suits me (I think) at this stage.

SV 1000 (orange) probably can't miss it although plenty of cagers seem to :rolleyes:

I think it will be a very casual ride - not too much speed.

I for one will be going at a slowish pace, so you will have no problem going faster than me.

Good stuff

Took a 3hour spin through Wicklow this evening after work, was great! Awesome roads & scenery, this rideout should be pretty decent!

MrJoeSoap

Would love to get involved in this but I'll be over at a different type of rideout over in Donington on the weekend of the 27th/28th.

Come on Eugene!

Dorsanty

Would like to go too. Would be a great excuse to clean the bike after the last round of bad weather.

Off to the MotoGP though on what looks like will be the winning weekend.

P.C.

Dough! :eek:

Just checked the 'Diary' and I am going to watch a rock concert on Sunday the 28th.

So...

Either we make it a very early run (which I am not keen on),

or...

We go on Saturday the 27th,

or...

We pick a new date.

KamiKazi

27th

I know Steffano will want this date too :pac:

guil

might be interested taggin along,
kamikazi, where are ya in kildare

Dirk Gently

would prefer 28th but will try make 27th if it suits most people.

P.C.

Looks like we will have to make it the 27th.

I don't want to put this on the long finger, as then we might never do it.

I will the thread title to show the date.

Keep an eye out for an updated map with meeting points, and stopping points.

Dirk Gently

I might take in some of the route some night this week after work. I'll keep an eye out for places to stop / petrol stations / shops / different meeting points along the way.

From Newbridge / Rathangan, living in Leixlip at the moment though

Zascar

Well done for organiseing this lads. I've been up to my nuts the last few weeks but it has calmed down now so I'll deffo be on for it, sat or sun I'll do my best to make it.

That route on google maps is a good one, but dam it is Long! If we did want to go to Mondello we could go straight to Larragh, and then head to Mondello via blessington, I've done it before. I'm up for wherever.

Where is the meeting point?

P.C.

OK, my lazy arse has not been paying much attention to this in the last few days.

Time to start a new thread, as the date has now been decided:

Saturday 27 th June 2009

As mentioned above, a bit of work needs to be done on the route.

Now, if I could just get 'task orientated', I would get this all done.


Look out for the new thread.*















Why does this feel like work?
