Due to the probability of chauffeur duties to my kids training runs this morning I didn't commit to this but I did get out and passed a group on the Enniskerry Road at 10.30. There were 3 out front in identical tops, toh they might have been a separate group cos I met them again on the Dargle Road in Bray later. Were you a group of 6 with a female in tow who gave me a loud (and very welcome) salte across the road as we passed at the Kilternan Hotel. Hope all went well and hope to join up with you in the future

The 3 in front weren't us, the rest were!

Was much fun anyway (even if I did have to walk a lil bit -damn single speed!)

I think I'll be out tomorrow, for a quick spin out to Enniskerry, then back via Bray. If anyone fancies it, I'll be leavin the dog track at 10, Dundrum about quarter past.

So, now I've showered, de-odourised and eaten I can finally type
Was a great run, a good steady but gentle pace up to Glencree, then we split. Was actually relatively easy going up over the gap, but coming down was a bit of a struggle with the headwind! I was a full 20km/h slower on the descent than my last descent!Madness! Off down to Blessington, then Naas and through a sleet shower before I started to die due to the almost non-stop headwind from there. Finally called in the cavalry at clane - just couldn't face the long long headwind from there to Celbridge. Oh well. Feeling good now though, might go for a spin tomorrow to loosen out the legs..
Thanks to all for a lovely morning!

don't blame the drink, blame the drinker. slightly poor form dude. but i'll let you off this once.

well i turned up. as did 'the boss of me', and had a decent oul spin out to enniskerrry and back via glencree. went out a different way than last time but came back along the same route.

after two days of that i just went out to do a few of laps of the phoenix park and found it tougher than i ever have before.
