First Cycle of 2001

sharky86

Hey Folks,

Looking for a bit of advise here.
Havent been on a bike since mid-november last...Thinking of doing my first ride tommorrow morning.

Thinking of Carlow to Arklow via ether one of two routes

1) Carlow-Hackestown-Tinhealy-Arklow
2) Carlow-Bunclody-Enniscorthy Roadabout-Gorey-Inch-Arklow

Route one is approx 60km while route 2 is in or around 90km.
Worried about if there is ice on the roads wil I kill myself :P or be better going on route two which has better roads but could kill myself doing 90km..

What would you do? What would Jesus so?

I was on the Bunclody to Enniscorthy road yesterday and it was grand. I severely doubt there will be ice in the morning. 90km is always better than 60km. Also, I don't see how it's taken 10 years for this thread to come through.

It's hard shouldered pretty much the whole way so I think it'd be fine. Option one is fairly rolling though.

It'll be hard to find a bike rack to fit a DeLorean

You'll need a fairly expensive hub dynamo if you want to run a flux capacitor off it. Check the rating is more than 1.21JW

Also you need to take into account the resistance from the dynamo will slow you down making 88mph very hard to get to.

time only travels forward and without the flux capacitor / dynamo or tyres, , sharky will never get back to 2001........

who wants to break it to sharky?

as sharky started out asking '' what would jesus do ? '' how about re-incarnate ? in 2011 ?

or do a lazarus even.....

if he does reappear then we would have to build an airport in carla ( just like for the appiriation in knock) .....


now thats a good curveball .........

Sharky come back, all is forgiven,,, just use the edit key....wherever u are.....

Mite as well have have started out in 2001! took option and it nearly killed me. hard to belief how much fitness I lost from beer and tv for the last 3 odd months. next time taken option 1......

See some guy drafting a tractor about 3 inchs from the back of it tho on the N80. looked like he was a bit bored staring at the back of it
