erizo

Hi guys,

I can't make it this saturday as my bike will probably be in the shop, but i'm meeting another guy in clontarf for a sunday morning spin at 10am.

If somebody would be interested in joining us, you are more than welcome.
We meet up in the begining of the clontarf bike track at 10 am.

Thanks

Hi guys.

I don't try to rest protagonism to the guys organizing the spin on Saturday. I would do it myself as the groups sounds good and funny, but i can't make it this saturday either.
So if there is anybody in joining us, let me know or just show up.

thanks

this is a route I designed and hope to complete.

Don't worry about it mate, anyone's free to organise any spins they want!

Route looks nice, if my Focus arrives and I'm not still drunk I should be up for it, but I am out on Saturday night... :cool:

penexpers

Looks like a nice spin. I'd just be worried that you'd end up stopping too much due to traffic lights etc... on the way out to Enniskerry.

flickerx

Hey, I'll try and make this at 10 on Sunday. Saturdays generally arent good for me at the moment, and northside suits me better.

I'll need to change my chainring on the langster to something larger though, I still havent gotten around to getting a smaller freewheel sprocket.

mikemac

I’m in, will be on a silver Trek 1200

I’m usually go north towards from Malahide from that starting point, I’ve never been southside on the bike so it’s all new to me
Could be a regular thing like the Saturday spin if it goes well

erizo

I will be on a blue contini and some shorts where it says MALLABIA.
About 6' tall, so visible enough!!
See you there guys

flickerx

10am too early for me now

have fun with the spin

If I had seen this earlier I'd have joined you guys. Anyone want a mid-week spin up Howth?

If I get the focus then yes!

How was it today for the guys that went?

erizo

It went fine. no rain till we arrived to clontarf at 13.15. It took us less than 3 hours to complete the 70kms. From Clontarf to bray, enniskerry and powerscourt climb to test ourselves, then to johnny fox's, stepaside and back to clontarf through clonskeagh, ranelagh and the east link bridge.

It was tough to climb to johnny fox's from enniskerry, i didn't remember the hill so stiff!!!!

As somebody said the traffix lights are a bit of a pain.

We can organize a mid-week spin if you like, that's fine with me.
Talk to you guys

Mr. Skeffington

Anyone interested in going on some mid week spins in the evening? Unfortunatly I cant make the spins on the weekends.

I am, but only up around Howth. Wicklow is too far for me to get back before dark.

Chips Lovell

How many came out yesterday?

erizo

just 2 of us. I think I wasn't convincing enough.

It suits me to cycle around howth. i.e. Wednesday?
What do you guys think?
met.ie says: Mainly dry on Wednesday with bright or sunny spells - just the chance of some rain in the south and southwest

Hope to get my new saddle by then!!

Raam

I'm on for it

erizo

new thread, alright?

Chips Lovell

I go up to Howth regularly on week nights, so it would suit me too. Only problem is that my work hours can be fairly unpredictable, so I mightn't know until an hour or two before hand if I'd be able to meet up or not.
