    Anyone going up Wicklow who wouldn't mind me tagging along for 100km max (too ambitious last Monday, sorry Mosiki).
    Or alternatively phrased, any other noobs interested?

    Sounds like the sort of spin I might be on for, say 11:30 at Joe Daly's in Dundrum?

    Half eleven sounds pretty good to me.Looks like it should be a nice day.

    What's the odds this turns into 08.30 under the Luas bridge for a 200k hammerfest?... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,995 ✭✭✭✭blorg


    No 11:30 for a 100km hammerfest. Or thereabouts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,137 ✭✭✭buffalo


    If I can clean the house before 11.00, I'll join ye. The forecast for the weekend is fantastic: http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/31?&search=dublin&itemsPerPage=10&region=world

    Ow. Sunburn is not fun. Tan lines are though...

    Just did Home to Laragh and back, seemed like a very fast spin but as I didn't reset my computer I don't know how fast it was. Whoops. First time out in Wicklow this year actually.

    Met a fellow boardsie in the hippy café in Laragh, Joe I think... terrible with names so that's probably wrong. Hello anyways, hope the spin to Bray was good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 ✭✭✭souter


    105km for me door to door (Fairview). Avg 22, (my) max 54.
    Totally in small individually wrapped bits of pain just now -
    never ever going to drink before a spin again, even if it was a mere "convalescing" spin for blorg.

    Somehow enjoyed it though, good company and good weather a big plus, and thanks for the various tows.

    I have some hillarious ones on my arms, unfortunately not on my legs though (the ultimate euro accessory)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,270 ✭✭✭spyderski


    Very enjoyable spin, beautiful weather & good company. 82.5 K for me, average 26.9, max 67.1 kmh. We were motoring on most of the way back, until I came under serious pressure. Thanks to Damien for letting me draft most of the way back. Good to meet you all, hope to do it again sometime soon.

    Howaya Dónal - that was me in Laragh, only spotted the Boards cap after sitting down. The name's Neal, cheers for the seat - was fairly packed today at that cafe.

    Did a good spin -Dundrum, Brittas, Sally Gap, Laragh, Newtown Mount Kennedy, Greystones, Bray, Town, Dundrum - 118kms.

    Saw a large group of Boards jerseys between Anamoe and Roundwood I think - how many were out today?

    There were 7 in our group. Not sure what route we took but there were 4 boards jerseys in the group.
    Apparently cycling related slowness isn't tolerated in TIME in naas (discovered thanks to my inability to vacate a stairwell without the aid of a handrail tonight)

    Just wondering if any of you do spins fixed? would like to join a cycling club but I'm afraid they'll laugh at my fixie :D
