n.catenthusiast

ok i'm winning so far...

P.C.

I don't know what to vote. :eek::o

Other than work, I don't have much on for the next few weeks.
I am too poor to take holidays.

So, if I have enough notice, I should be able to make any of the dates above.*

im voting for wednesdays on the basis that im only ever free in evenings (any and all inc weekends) and some weekdays. i work weekeends and can only get them off for extra specical occasions like skipping hte country

MrJoeSoap

Most Wednesdays and Saturdays are good for me.

P.C.

Anyone come up with any ideas of a good route.

I went for an IceCream in Bray earlier this evening - took the senic route.

Odysseus

I went for wednesdays myself as I'm usually down in Dublin on wednesdays.

DonkeyRhubarb

We should really try get as many as possible this time. The more bikes, the more crack.

Everyone, come along and if you have friends, bring them.

No horses, cattle or I'm sorry to say donkeys. You may however bring a dog if you have a sidecar.

Like I mentioned on the last rideout, it's best to ignore me whenever possible...

i'm hooked on driving over wicklow, the wicklow gap is particularly lovely. lots of scenic stopping standing around looking at rocks kinda stuff.

KamiKazi

Ok, who is going to take responsibility for brining a decent camera?

DonkeyRhubarb

I have to go into work on Saturday morning. :mad::eek::o
So, I could meet you somewhere on the keys, and we could go from there if you want.

Let me know.

P.C., I could see you at the same petrol station on the quays as last time if that suits? If not, just name the place.

The one on the Quays at about 12:30.

See you there.

n.catenthusiast

sounds good


see you there so...

DonkeyRhubarb

Great. I'm not familiar with the route, so if I had the panniers on my bike would I have a hard time keeping up with everyone through the traffic?

P.C.

You will be fine.

We won't filter in town. We will ride in a group.

Once we are out of town, traffic is not an issue - you just have to the odd bit of overtaking.

KamiKazi

Lets hope the weather is better than it is ATM.

P.C.

It should be.

Not so bad when I came home around 7 this evening. A bit damp, but nothing to worry about.

DonkeyRhubarb

Oh god I'm so hungover.

P.C. I'll see you at 12.30. God help me.

I want to stop somewhere scenic and get some shots of the bikes. Ill get some proper shots of each bike and send them onto whoever wants them. If theyre really good, theyll go up on my flickr page. So here's a chance to get a nice pic of your bike to frame and put beside your bed:D*



(No I don't do that)*

GOod spin. Had to head off early to get to ticket master to get tickets for fatboy slim tomorrow. Was a long trip home! Some 60km, then I had to go to town. Ill put up the pics once I transfer them and resize them.

I think Ill sleep now...:rolleyes:

KamiKazi

Yeah was a good spin, wind on the M50 home was pretty brutal though.

Good spin guys.

Quick question:

KamiKazi

Where are these pics Donkey? :P

iseethelight

Sorry about the delay on the pics. Reformatted the laptop, so I have to get the software on, transfer and then resize, all after I bring the misses out for lunch, so hopefully Ill have them up this evening...
