Wow, thats a good old turnout! Proper club we are now

EDIT: Maybe we could do a little food and/or drink afterwards, assuming everyone isnt knackered. Ill be driving back but I wudnt mind hanging around and having a boardsie meet.

King Kelly · 19-08-2008 9:18pm

Taking the handy option and doing the 100km myself. (But will do the Seskin Hill Loop so I can say I rode up one hill!)

Number. 1382

showry · 19-08-2008 9:20pm

I'm down for the 160 too.

SACH Central · 19-08-2008 9:38pm

I also doing the 160 too. Word locally is that they are expecting 1,500 on the day with about 500 names for the 160.

sy · 19-08-2008 10:13pm

Had planned the 160 but my son wants to try the 100 so will have to stay with him(just turned sixteen). Might join King Kelly on that loop of Seskin Hill.

Quigs Snr · 19-08-2008 10:39pm

Doing the 100 with the better half, its the one spin in the year we can do together, and I am under no pressure to go out there and murder myself for 160k to whip myself into shape for the Adare 2 day, as I packed in the racing at the weekend once I realised that the All Ireland final will be on the same day as the final race. I am not a big hurling fan but I may not get another chance to see another final, if they take as long as they did last time I will be 77 years old next time !!!

If the weather is bad and she who must be obeyed chickens out I will be dishing out the pain on the 160 instead !

Caroline_ie · 19-08-2008 10:50pm

I am 160k number 94 RED

penexpers · 19-08-2008 11:15pm

I'm only doing the 100k, or maybe even only the 50 if I don't find somewhere to stay.

72hundred · 20-08-2008 12:06am

Jaysus! Great turn out. Cheers E@gle.

I think thats my plan for a bit of beerage after aswell, i hear sean k himself is some man for the pints

DirkVoodoo · 20-08-2008 12:19am

If ya cant beat him up the hills ya can sure try and drink him under the table!

Caroline_ie · 20-08-2008 12:28am

I am ok for drinks on saturday.. sunday I will have to finish the 160 so you might already be well started on the drinks by the time I finish ...

And I can't even beat you on drinks ... I only drink rockshandy ...

irishmotorist · 20-08-2008 9:14am

I'll be doing the 160. My father in law is doing the 100 so I'll probably spin along with him for a while, but I'll see ye there anyway!

at1withmyself · 20-08-2008 11:07am

I'm in for either the 100 or 160, depends on the weather and how I feel on the morning. Are the boardies going in groups and will it be eay to join one on the morning?

i wouldn't worry about a groups there will be loads of them of all different abilities

Junior · 21-08-2008 10:42am

F*ck it - I've no training done - I've no interest in cycling anymore but I'm going to try do the 100 just to meet up with some of ye on the sunday !

hunnymonster · 21-08-2008 12:44pm

A meet up afterwards would be great. I've a 40 min run to do after the cycle so would anyone be willing to swap phone numbers with me so I can call to find out where everyone has ended up?

Funkyzeit · 21-08-2008 1:21pm

I'm also on for a meet up but will be driving back home so no alco bevvies (an oxygen mask will do me just fine....)

DirkVoodoo · 21-08-2008 1:23pm

Cool, put me down for a pint of Miwadi after. Any good spots in Dungarvan?

The Anchor bar down on the quay is a good spot if the sun is shining...

Just checking out how I'm getting to Waterford from Limerick.

Rail is my preferred way. There's a chance that they mightn't take the bike though. [RANT] Which in this day and age with millions and millions being spent on the network is ridiculous! [/RANT].

Bus is second. I don't fancy it though as the thought of having the bike in the under compartment brings a lot of problems with it. Namely having the sh^t beaten out of it by bouncing up and down on the roads and secondly I could very easily get nicked, and that's even if it'll fit.

Think I'm just going to have to try hard to get the bike on the train in the first place.

Anyone have any experience with dealing Irish Rail and getting bikes on-board?

penexpers · 22-08-2008 10:31am

It entirely depends on what kind of train it is. If it's a commter-style train then forget about it. If it has a guards van, they should take it.

E@gle. · 22-08-2008 11:21am

Lets hope that this years t-shirts are not lime green.

irishmotorist · 22-08-2008 11:23am

I just got a nice e-mail from the Sean Kelly people with info on the event. Nothing new in it really (apart from acommodation links for those who need it), but they tell me that they've even been sweeping the roads. They're also expecting 2000 people! That's a bit more than I though would be there.

Also, those feckers on the weather last night said that it will be nice today, a bit less nice tomorrow and raining and blustery on Sunday. I feel like taking up voodoo!

Dunno about the rest of the route, but Dungarvan should get OK weather.

looks like it'll be ok according to the bbc and met.ie but maybe not as nice as they were giving it yesterday,

got this from the website re food stops as well

Where are the feeding-stations?
‘Kelly Cruise’- There will be 1 feeding station at Cappoquin Community Centre.
‘Kelly Legacy’- There will be 1 feeding station on this route in Clonmel at the 55km mark. There will also be a water/fruit stop at the Community Centre in Ballymacarbry in the heart of the breathtaking Nire Valley at 75kms.
'Kelly Comeragh Challenge’- There will be 2 feeding stations. The first will again be in Clonmel (55kms.) and the second stop of the day will be in the scenic village of Rathgormack (known locally as ‘The Village’) at the 100km mark nestled in the foothills of the mighty Comeragh mountains. Rathgormack Hiking Centre will provide the backdrop for your stop-over. There will also be a water/fruit stop at the Community Centre in Ballymacarbry in the heart of the breathtaking Nire Valley at 75kms and at Kilrossanty Community Hall at 130kms.
Toilet facilities will be available at all feeding stations.

E@gle. · 22-08-2008 1:07pm

If you look at the route map the feeding stations are the star on the map

Quigs Snr · 22-08-2008 1:28pm
