Last year's thread is here, I think most people who came along enjoyed their day out (speak up folks), the forecast looks good, if you're free in the general Kildare /Offaly/Laois area on Sunday we'd be delighted to welcome you along.

Highly recommended , Great event last year ( especially the BBQ).

Can we register on the day?
I really want to take part but have a hectic weekend looming and flying out on holliers early Monday.
Spoke to a few lads that done last years and was very well run by all accounts.

This was a great event last year. Unfortunately I'm way out of shape so won't be back this year. Disappointed.

If the bbq and weather are promised again I'll be there with others in tow!

Be nice to meet some boardsies tomorrow, ill be on a black,white,blue livery Corratec Corones probably wearing red top and white helmet come over and say hello

Folks, due to a large funeral on the route we have no option but to delay roll out for half an hour, there'll be plenty of tea and coffee if people have to wait but if you see this in time you can relax for another half an hour.


I'll be in Headstrong gear on a battered auld Trek, any boardsies please say hello, just ask for John.

A big thanks to all who supported us today, given some of the difficulties we had in the runup to the event it was no real surprise that the numbers were smallish, but I think everyone enjoyed the day, even the bits of Offaly pave, and the burgers were going down well at the finish, I hope no one went home hungry anyway.

Nice to meet quite a few boardsies, some (Grassey?) I only got to say hello to as I passed but there were plenty of others in our group, strong cyclists all.


Hopefully Tour De Bog will return again next year, when everyone will be able to see and use the new community centre that today's event is helping to fund.

Grassey

Yup that was me.

Great spin, nice fast pace from the go!! Burgers were much appreciated.... And the fruit cake!

Good to meet nilhg, derealbadger & dcully!

See ye at the next one!
