    Given that there are 30-ish people heading down, 20 or so of whom are coming from Dublin, is it time to revisits Gavin's rent a van suggestion? Or are we all very confident of getting a space on the train?

    It wont impact me, as I will be down. But if ye all plan on (1) travelling from Dublin (2) on the 6pm train, then save ye'reselves the stress and hire a van to send a few people down with the bikes.

    If ye like stress, hassle and arguing with Irish Rail staff, then by all means enjoy the train journey.

    I was thinking of the 3pm one but I'm open to the idea of the van nonetheless (and am willing to do either the drive down or back with the provisio that I'd need to be back in Dublin on Saturday night which may well not suit everyone else).

    Van idea is good, and I would be interested (and offering to drive it too) but I'm staying in Killarney until Monday 6th and making my way to the ICTU conference in Tralee (7th to 10th), so I think it makes more sense for me to take the train.

    Shame, I like the van idea.

    So we all agreed that Joxer was the man to drive the van".

    Was just thinking, we should probably have a few scoops at the top of Moll's Gap. It will make the descent a bit more interesting.

    :(
    I'm just back from an attempt to do 100km.....on my own.
    I did 90.88km took me 3hrs 47mins, avg. 24.0km/h.
    Here's my stats....Sportstracker

    I was fine for the first 55km, apart from the Granny in a Micra trying to kill me on the roundabout at swords pavillion, thanks to the truck driver for stopping to see if I was OK :). I wasn't hurt, luckily. Anyway I was at around 55km and the joints at the top of my legs started to hurt, my muscles were fine, it was just the 2 joints. I did a short lap aroung garristown area then turned back, I was intending to do the 100km and turn back for malahilde/portmarnock but by the time I got back to the malahide road I was fighting the pain, so I decided to turn back towards my house. I crawled the last 10km home.

    Am I crazy trying to attempt the ROK?
    Unfortunately I stopped training as much when I realised I was missing the WW200.
    Why are these joints hurting so much? My muscles aren't even a little bit sore? Am I in the wrong cycling position or is it something else?

    @lafors, it could be your position, could be the cleats in your shoes mis-aligned (if you use them), could be a repetitive strain type thing, but I hear your pain.

    I had a very similar experience a couple of weeks before the W200. Did 100km round trip to Laragh by myself and was fine for the first 50km, and after a 30 minute break in Laragh the 50km home were torture as my legs seem to sieze up.

    A week later I went out on the Swords CC tour which was mostly flat and at a good pace. 180km that day and everything felt fine. W200 was a week later, and barring the Rathdrum-Roundwood stretch (which killed everyone), I was grand.

    There has been strong winds the last couple of days which would also present a challenge to anyone doing any kind of distance.

    If you can do 90.88km, and you have already been training, then I would say you'll probably be OK for the ROK. By all accounts (haven't done it yet myself), it is easier than the W200, and the added energy of an event / getting pulled by a group should help see you through it.

    Don't lose heart just yet, we've all had days like that (and worse). Rest tomorrow and head out for a shorter one next time if you are by yourself. Then see about joining a group spin (Saturday beginners group is worth considering - or petethedrummer is planning a northside spin over the weekend), and you won't focus so much on what you can or cannot do.

    Take it handy, see you at the ROK

    On the cycle home from work there the wind was very strong so if it was anything like that where you were, fair play for doing the 90km! It'll be easier in a group at the ROK.

    Plus I'm assured from looking at the google shared document that there will be cake which tend to help all spins.
