Howth after work

markdrayton

After months of riding Howth in the dark after work it's finally getting light enough to see anything but a beam of light in front of me. That includes other people -- saw a few out on Monday evening, including a guy in Milram kit on something stealthy looking, then someone else on a Cervelo when heading back. Any of you lot? I was on a Focus, black gear and white helmet.

If anyone's up for a regular quick few laps round I'd be keen -- getting pretty sick of riding it on my own. I generally try to keep it fairly steady (ie, fast but not killing the climb) all the way out to Howth, two anticlockwise laps (~21 mins each) then back to town. Total ~80 mins from East Wall Rd/Alfie Byrne Rd and back.

I can leave work by 6, so in Fairview Park area by 6.15pm ish. I'll be out tomorrow if anyone's keen.

I like the sound of this, but due to a new baby i'm afraid my attendance would be sporadic at best. If this becomes a regular outing i'd definitely look to meet up at Sutton Cross from time to time.

Might be up for this myself. Seems there's a bit of rain coming in for Friday but it looks like Dublin will escape it...

I'm up for Friday, not today...

Right, end of Malahide Rd it is then, 6.15pm. I'll bail if it's really minging, if not I'll be there on a blue iron Ribble with mudguards.

pprendeville

It was fine. No rain. I was a couple of minutes late and didn't see anyone so presumably nobody else showed.
