Hello everyone,

the 3rd week of September (15th - 26th) I will be longboarding through Ireland. My GPS-watch will keep track of my mileage, and for every kilometer I get an ammount of money from a couple of "sponsors". Read: random people that want to support the "Think Pink"-initiative. All money received will go straight to breast-cancer research and patient wellfare.

So now you know why :-) For me the "how" is the biggest question. I've never been to Ireland and I don't want to depend on Google-earth for road-conditions and steepness (I'll be riding a "double" board, a regular board that carries me. A board with only 1 truck that gets pulled behind me with my backpack, tent, food, water, etc.)

So can you Irish skaters do me a pleasure? Could you please send me (in PM so I don't screw up this thread) the roads you allready know are impossible? That way I can avoid those :-)
If you happen to know good roads that lead from one big town to another, that would be even better!
And if you have spots to bomb downhill, even if it's just a 500m slope or a parking garage, whatever. Just let me know.

You'll be seeing me in Ireland in a couple of weeks, so in case anyone wants to join me on (part of) the ride, you'd be verry welcome. I can allready a horde of boarders screwing up the Killarney traffic, imagin ;-)

Greetings from Belgium, and thanks in advance!
