    That's a nice spin, alright. I did a very similar route to it last Monday evening. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it as I'll be visiting people in the flat-lands of Meath and Kildare. I reckon it'd be a good step-up for all the others who have been on recent beginner spins.

    I could be up for that if I can wangle a pass. The descent from Sally Gap is fabulous, like a roller coaster with great visibility and surface (I still creep down it though).

    Sounds good but 9 is a bit late for me. If anyone is around the start of that route at 7.30 I would be happy to have company. I'll be the one chugging along slowly wearing a Planet-X jersey.

    Was planning a similar route for tomorrow, would appreciate some company (but will be dead slow on the hills). Are you starting from Templeogue bridge?

    sorry misread the map - looks like the bridge between Terenure and Rathfarnham - will aim for that at 09.00. On a blue PX, hopefully see y'all there.

    Was running late myself so nipped down at 9 and met Gasco. We hung around for a few minutes but no sign of anyone else so we headed off in our own little Planet-X themed spin. Great day for it and nice to meet a Boardsie in real life. Sorry we missed you Scien.

    Yep, t'was a great spin alright. Thanks for the company Daragh. The rest of my weekend was spent in a DIY themed hell, in retrospect toiling up Stocking Lane in your wake was almost fun.
