Wicklow Rideout

RosieJoe

Going to be going on a run this Saturday in Wicklow if anyone is out and about. I have a route in mind that is not involving either Gap ( at the moment, we could hit either depending on progress and what people are up for.)

So, meeting point is the Topaz in Kilmacanogue ( on Southbound Side of N11 ) for 11ish, heading from there.

Theres a big charity bike rideout from Joe Duffy BMW this Saturday at 10 am in aid of some big charity.

They had race bikes and BMW touring bikes on display in Pavillions Shopping Centre in Swords at the weekend,and were collecting money too.I gave them a few quid and spent a good 15 minutes chatting to one of the lads who is taking part.

They expect to have several hundread bikes turning up.

Joe Duffy BMW in Finglas will be packed with all types of bikes and there will be free tea and sandwiches during the day

That was Aidan Lynam and the Rev-up4DSI lads, they do a huge amount for Down Syndrome Ireland.. Aidan is one of the friendliest & down to earth bikers you'll ever meet, he's a tester and photo journalist at Road Racing Ireland and Bike Buyers Guide Magazines.

OP unfortunately I'm tied up on Saturdays but if you want to do it some Sunday I'd love to hook up with a few of the lads from here for a quickie over the Dublin/Wicklow mountains.

Nice spin from the Topaz up to Joe Duffys.

Stop off there for free tea and sambos.Have a look at the various motorbikes that will be there.Drop a few quid in the collection buckets to support a good cause/charity

Then off on another spin for a lap or 2 around Dublin Airport and the back roads up through Ashbourne and then accross countryside into the back of Tallaght and then back onto the M50/N11.

all things going well, I'll be at the Tandragee road races on saturday, but it's being ages [from Nth Dubland] since I've been for a good spin around the 'garden county' - good luck

Would gladly join u in kilmac if u don't mind a 125 tagging along.

RosieJoe

Bike size is not going to be an issue, so you're more than welcome

Zascar

Rosie I might be on for that, have not been out for a wicklow spin in ages. Is 11 solid?
Cheers
Colly

RosieJoe

Anytime between 11 and 11:30 really. I can't make it earlier as kids have stuff on in the morning.

Zascar

Later the better for me, 12 would be perfect

Anyone else coming?

prunudo

I've never been on a ride-out, seeing as this is local, I might tag along if that's alright?

Will you be able to make it for 11 so? If not, I'll PM you the route and you could catch up with us.

I'll join yous at Topaz the morning too if that's OK Rosiejoe, looks like it's going to be a nice day for spin

RobertM

Jaysis.. What's with you people and mornings ? :pac:

That's a nice little group you gathered RosieJoe.. Haven't attended any meets before so not sure what to expect, but if I can get out of bed early, I think I'll tag along.

Zascar

Ah its not that big a deal I'll be there at 11

Really bad timing for me. Long weekend and my bike have oil leakage. I would really like to ride with you guys. Last year I did 6000 km myself and it was good fun but I really would like to ride with someone this year. Maybe next time. Have a great time and let the weather be with you :-)

goodlad

Cant make this myself. Working tomorrow so im just hoping a few lads are out on sunday when i can get out.

RosieJoe

See you all in the morning, hopefully it'll be a bit brighter!


I should be there just before 11 at the Topaz in Kilmac, I'll be on a Black Bandit

Wonda-Boy

Meant to be a good day tomorrow lads, stay safe and loads of pics.

RobertM

Great spin today and nice to meet you all, thanks Rosie!

RosieJoe

Blessed with the weather and quiet roads today. Great spin all round

Is it cause I'm awesome? haha.

Great spin out today, weather couldn't have been more perfect. . Was good to learn new roads, can't imagine it will be long before I visit them again.

Good group turned up which was awesome because I find it's great to head out and watch other peoples riding styles and learn from them. Enjoyed it.

cantdecide

We should organise a 'Great Boards.ie Rideout' at some stage. I'd brave the roads from Langerland for it.

P.C.

You need to learn to fill your bike with fuel at the start of the spin.

Could you share what route you actually did? Maybe someone had phone app something like "map my trip" or similar? Just asking as I may do this myself at some stage (have some extra time in lieu on calendar) thanks
