I think I need some more miles in my legs to fully appreciate your "sweet kickers"!! Really enjoyed the route and company thanks

to be fair we did do a little bit of the long hill before heading back so we got our sweet kick out of that

I had the Sensa, for those who dont know me. really enjoyed the road back from roundwood till i had to do the pojjo

Spin Next Sunday 16th Nov 9.00 am Balally Luas

Due to Cyclo cross next Sunday I propose the following , as I need to be back in Dundrum for 11.15

2 hour easy , may be more suitable for those who haven't been out with us yet or new to group riding. Easy pace too max 25 kph.

No one will be left behind & of course we could squeeze in a quick coffee too . .

Oh and obviously all the usual suspects are welcome too however you may want to go further I'm sure

Anyone interested please register your interest here so as I can get an indication of numbers . .

Cheers

I was another member of carpenter's meeting-at-the-wrong-spot spin :-) worked out well as we only did around fifty k, my missus was having contractions when I got back and now I've got a new baby girl :-)

Won't be seeing you next Sunday

I'll join you this Sunday. Also interested in doing a bit more after Bikerbhoy returns to Dundrum at 11. I have a 4 hour pass form the missus to get full value out of!

I'm on for Sunday too and would prefer a little longer than being back at 11....bikerbhoys suggested longer route, eh, not so sure!! Something around the 70k would do me grand!!

wanderer 22

I'll be doing the cx on Sunday so won't be there - here's a nice 70k (take out the Kippure climb if you want less hills) http://www.strava.com/activities/156136464

Should be free this Sunday for a spin, but if it's still drop-bars only, I'm unfortunately stuck with a flat-bar hybrid at the moment.

Yeah sorry drop bar only, it is a rule that has to be adhered to I'm afraid.

Could you get a loan of a bike ?

I hope to make this week again, but can't commit till Saturday.

No issues, safety first really. Even if I could get a loan off someone, I've virtually no practice on dedicated road bikes - with the change in posture etc, I'd really need to get the feel for using them before taking part in any future group spins or sportives.

does any one have a route for sunday? Strava/gamrin etc?

Maybe around

There may be a couple of options for this Sunday, I will be leading a 2 hrs ish spin as I need to be back in Dundrum for 11.15 for the cross, but there may be folk intending to stay out a bit longer some routes discussed here earlier in the week .

meisce

I'm working Sunday morning until 0830 so if ye are passing through Stepaside again I might meet ye there.
Will let you know for certain Saturday evening.

BoardsMember

I'm on for the longer one, either Bikerbhoys suggestion, or manafana's or whatever. Anything in the region of 70/80 is good with me.

sbs2010

I'll come out for this. Will probably stick with BikerBhoy's shorter spin.
