    Anyone fancy a bank holiday afternoon spin? Nothing major, say up by Enniskerry, and back via Killiney hill, maybe stopping in Dun Laoghire for Ice Cream on the way back :D

    Say 1pm Dog Track, 1:15 Dundrum?

    Was a nice spin actually, nothing too major, though the mist over by Dun Laoghaire was spooky as hell!

    I was out in Ringsend earlier, what the hell was that fog? I've never seen anything like it. Does this nightmarish apocalyptic vista normally occur in this city?

    Yeah, it was mental - from the sounds of it it was all along the coast. I got back to greystones after being inland and it was engulfed in fog!

    That was very enjoyable, thanks for the advice and direction along the way lads.

    As I mentioned, I won't be going this Saturday as there's a track racing open day at the track on Sundrive Road that I'll probably head along to.

    Here's the link as requested.
