Saturday Spin 131005

petethedrummer

I'm doing this route tomorrow (Sat 05OCT2013) , leaving the Chapelizod gate of Phoenix Park (point A) at 09:00. Should take around 3hrs 30mins with Coffee Stop in Enniskerry.

Can meet anyone along the way. Ranelagh or Dundrum flyover would be good meeting points.

The pace will not be very hot but there will be minimum dilly-dallying at the top of climbs once the group (if there is one) is reformed.

PM me your number if interested.

You are responsible for your own safety.

Chips Lovell

Can meet you at Chapelizod Gate at 9am alright. Would be on for that route till Glencree at least.

petethedrummer

Sound, PM me your number just in case there is any issue. Are you thinking of going longer?

Chips Lovell

Done. I wouldn't mind going over the Gap at least.

Tempted.

Are you married to that route? Like, are you meeting people along the way? Because otherwise there must be a way to skip a bit of that Ranelagh, Dundrum stuff - it's a bit commutey rather than Saturday spinny. IMO.

well not entirely wedded, but the spin must include a coffee stop.

could head for the gap after aurora and then back over bohernabreena.

Chips Lovell

Great spin, great company. The cracking weather prompted us to push on a bit more than planned. 130km for me.

petethedrummer

Don't worry lads - I made it. The discomfort was excruciating from Blessington to Brittas. Then I realised it didn't hurt when out of the saddle. So I stood up the rest of the way in.

Thanks for coming out, thanks a bundle.:pac:

120 k for me. old school boards spin two gaps and cafe in laragh . half expected blorg to appear.

Chips Lovell

The guilt was terrible. We made Pete double his original distance. And then left him behind.

niceonetom

144km for me, door to door. Great old school boards spin. 2009 all over again.

petethedrummer

petethedrummer

niceonetom

You can see a bit of Desmond Tutu back there too. Near the elephant.

Where is this magical place?

niceonetom

If I told you it wouldn't be magic anymore - you have to find it for yourself.
