Paddys Day Spin - Dublin

ROK ON · 14-03-2011 2:36pm #1

Heading out for four hours on the 17th.
Wicklow or Kildare.
Have to be back for 1pm so I won't be stopping.

Wicklow I will probably start from yellow house in Rathfarnham.
Kildare will start from Phoenix Pk.

Any takers.

hmmm... met.ie says maybe.

I'd be on for a Wicklow route. The yellow house is about 15km from me, leaving at 8.15 to be there at 9, ouch

how serious is this going to be?

AstraMonti · 14-03-2011 2:50pm

I would be up for a 70-80k ride in wicklow, probably i ll have to turn earlier somewhere. Where is the yellow house?

ROK ON · 14-03-2011 3:11pm

The Yellow House - corner of Willbrook and Grange Roads in Rathfarnham.
Start of Ballyboden Road which becomes Ballyboden Road which becomes Edmonstown.

Weather permitting I'd be up for a spin if it gets me back home reasonably early.
Could pick you up on stocking lane assuming you head that way - glencree , sally gap, glenmacnass , laragh, roundwood , enniskerry ,kilternan should be under 4 hrs .

We can have a couple of them

no need to get wasted

rottenhat · 15-03-2011 9:06am

I'd be up for that - either Wicklow or Kildare is fine by me.

mvt · 15-03-2011 4:28pm

Would be on for a spin but not at 9am,although totally understand the reason for such an outrageous start time.
Hopefully will see youse out on the road.

The tax man · 15-03-2011 6:56pm

I'll try to join in.

Cookie_Monster · 15-03-2011 7:00pm

I'm out, going drinking tmro nite :pac:

ROK ON · 15-03-2011 7:54pm

Thanks for getting back.
Thinking of two routes

1. Cruagh Kilakee Liam Horner Coolakay Old Long Hill Lugalla Sally Gap Kilbride Dublin
Or
2. Embankment Kilbride lap of Blessington Lake

@MVT. Sorry about the start but am heading down the country to a wedding in the afternoon so have to be back in D15 by 1ish.

rottenhat · 15-03-2011 8:31pm

Of those two, my vote would definitely be for number one.

godihatedehills · 16-03-2011 5:01pm

Any progress on a meeting place?

TinyExplosions · 16-03-2011 5:02pm

Bottom on Francis St/The Coombe at 8.30, heading Stocking Lane/Sally Gap Way

Paco Rodriguez · 16-03-2011 8:29pm

I'll be out on the roads in Wicklow tomorrow. Wont join you, as its my first spin out in about a 9 months, so I will go my own slow pace.

CramCycle · 16-03-2011 11:06pm

What time are ye passing by The Yellow House or is that out now. Also @ ROK ON, your not heading to Aughrim for that wedding are you?

AstraMonti · 17-03-2011 8:51am

Just woke up.. :rolleyes:

mvt if you haven't left yet what time will you be going?

mvt · 17-03-2011 5:51pm

Sorry Astramonti,

Yeah, twas me, I was doing loops of Edmonston Rd/Stocking Lane. Was gonna turn and join you but was thinking you'd be for Laragh and I didnt want to venture too far from home.

If the weather is good I think I'll visit Slieve Mann tomorrow via Sally Gap & Shay Elliott.
