As I had proposed this as an easy intro spin for those who are unsure about their fitness etc we will be going no further than Enniskerry and we will be basically covering various roads around the Shankill Rathmichael area. We can expect to do about 60 k.

Hauki

I am like 90% that I'll be joining as well. Will make the final call in the morning and will show up if all is good.

It is to be dry as far as I can see, see your there

Jk_Eire

Am I right in thinking it's about a 3.5 hour or less trip ?

Ah no worries we got there about 9.20 ish waited til half and then pulled off . . We were however wondering about a racer parked outside the Step Inn bar door and guessed if that was you maybe you needed a pint more than a cycle therefore we decided to leave well enough alone . .
see you next time

manafana

same as I say to missus when shes struggling on bike, every km you do is a km more than you would have done by giving up.

Yeah 'twas a nice little route with a few little kickers here and there benefit of this route is that its a testing enough little spin out approx 60k and as I said previously Enniskerry is your furthest point if you need to get back soon your never far from home

Good to meet you, didn't know you were rollingscone on the day! I was the lad in the boards gear on the black and yellow Ridley. To be fair, there were a couple of surprisingly lumpy bits thrown in there, and I was very glad to have some nice low gears on my own bike. Even then I was puffing and panting myself by times.

Looking forward to the next one.
