Saturday Spin

Nietzschean

Anyone up for spin say 10am @ Dundrum? Heading wherever...

AstraMonti

I 'd love to come.. but i will be flying to Thailand (Yooohoo!!)

Cya in 3 weeks

Oh.. enjoy!

Nietzschean

Enjoy Thailand!

Yes... maybe. Don't think I'd be planning on doing more than 60km or 70km or so though so might turn back at some point.

Saw the weather forecast earlier, Saturday is meant to be a nice enough day out.

All the days are nice with a boards spin.. but some just end earlier

DirkVoodoo

Should be up for this, was really hoping to go mountain biking instead though

Might turn back early as well, Aston Villa v Chelsea kicks off at 12:45.

EDIT: Feck it, I'll record it. Don't anyone tell me the score or it's a swift kick to the groin.

petethedrummer

wobbits

Share with the group. I'd be interested in something different.

If it's over 300km or requires lights, I am out.

OK, but it has to be a crossed cheque - cash will not be accepted.

Nice quiet road , not that challenging

The tax man

Interesting route. No doubt empty's version of Bohernabreena will take in that potholed duelling banjos military road.:)

The_Claw

Route sounds intriguing - unfortunately I'll be away. See you next week though.

Hrm, new bike won't be up and running for this. Not sure if I'm bothered de-winterfying my hybrid. Will see.

Planet X

Should be there.

DirkVoodoo

Just back. Left the group in R'wood on the way back as I had a "very"slow front wheel puncture.
Had to pump it at the top of the Sugarloaf (half flat) otherwise I'd be picking gravel outta my body for a week.....
...........and a few times more till I got home. No big problem.

Nice day, autumn leaves n all that.

4 hrs. on the nose. Enough for me.

cosman9373

Just back ikn the door, thanks to all but esp tax man for the tea. sound bunch of lads just a pity i can't do more saturdays.

The tax man

110k door to door. Lovely weather, good turn out with some new faces,which is always a good thing. Very tough but nice route thanks to empty.;)
I bitched and moaned my way around but got there in the end. Left the group at Sally Gap crossroads. Legs just couldn't get me over that climb to Bohernabreena.

emty

Yes,turned out a very nice day,even if the route didn't quite work out as planned . Nice to meet some new folks especially the foxy chick.
Most importantly of all,I found my phone.....in the same place that I left it .Sorry for all the bad things I said about the Taxman

Nietzschean

should i ask where was it?

123km for me , good day out, good to have some fresh faces and a bit of a different route too was nice

If you got a report at the end of the spin,mine would read "must try harder."

hardly 100km in the mountains hardly can ever count as a must try harder....

Miles too hard on yourself.You did more than well.Three serious climbs and everybody was in sight of each other at all times.
Ok,some of us needed to use binoculars but still....
