Bottle tower at lunch today

So funny, I was in that exact spot yesterday myself at about 4ish. It's fun riding up the dirt road on your road bike (32 mm tyres in fairness), feels like you're getting away with something...

Ps that's the leadmines chimney at Ballycorus, isn't it? The bottle tower is in Churchtown, no?

Yep, my mistake. Also have 32s on my CX bike and love throwing in a bit of light off-road, though the shoulders are somewhat banjaxed at present which makes it a challenge.

Knobblies or semi's? Brookes or San Marco?

Marathon supremes which are pretty much slicks and B17. Kept meaning to put the knobblies on put never got around to it. Really want to pick up a spare set of wheels that I can leave set-up for off road and just grab on a whim.

On mine for what it's worth, 32 mm continental 'touring plus' tyres, which are kind of semi-slick. Actually pretty good on dirt roads. I wouldn't do rocky single track or deep mud on them though obviously. But they do make my reserve road bike a bit more adaptable.

Stagg cycles in Lucan builds wheels.

Do some people just drive up almost hoping to get stuck so they have some thing to post on Social Media to tell others all about their disaster. .

It’s a shame that other idiots still think the Sally Gap / Bogland in general is a great place to burn out a car, destroying the tarmac in the process.

I'd day that Suzuki was abandoned during the snow and burnt out by passing scum bags. The shame is that it's probably more capable off road than that landcruiser that won't be going anywhere soon and not a shovel in sight I'd say. What were they thinking and baby passenger aswell? The mind boggles.

It just shows you that some people don’t look at road signage, even if they say “Road Closed”

Pity about the Suzuki but same applies to the owners of that. You don’t go up there if it’s snowing/has snowed unless you have winter tyres and chains...

The council should put a barrier on Sally Gap and just close it. It is weird they have not cleared it by now though.

Is the Landcruiser on the road? I nearly went up there today, I thought it would be passable.

I'd say he's near the road but as ye know the roads are barely a cars width with drops either side and no snow markers either side. You'd easily end up completely off course.

I thought something like that but then I started getting a kind of New Zealand vibe from it.
