irishmotorist

I might be, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll either confirm later or be there if I only know late. If I'm not there on time, don't wait for me!

DirkVoodoo

Would like to go out, still havent got that rear wheel fixed so it may have to wait till saturday

Bambaata

i'm up for this too. 6.20 suits me better too. just about caught ye the other day!

Chips Lovell

Brought the bike to work with the intention of going out on my own tonight. If I'm out of work at the right time, I'll hook up with you. Should know later on.

blorg

Dirk- if it drags on getting it fixed and you are 10 speed I have a spare rear wheel with 12-25 cassette I can lend you.

I'm out I'm afraid; birthday/concert on this evening.

IT'S MY REST DAY!

DirkVoodoo

Cheers blorg, I'm bringing it in to college today to let a few of my mates have a go at it. They think i'm just too much of a wuss, but we shall see....

Gonna order one of them speed levers once I figure out wot other stuff I want to waste money on this month

EDIT: Also, I cant imagine u resting, you're like the chuck norris of cycling! Blorg doesnt rest, he just pedals backwards!

OK, good luck with that, by the sounds of it you may need my rear wheel after all

Blorg doesn't climb hills, they shrink under his wheels

Blorg doesn't get tired, tiredness get's Blorg

Raam

Blorg's bike doesn't move over the road, the road moves under Blorg's bike.

OK, so that was a bad one.

DirkVoodoo

Lance Armstrong wears Blorg pajamas.

Blorg doesnt get road-rash, the road gets blorg-rash

blorg

Ha, you guys

One of these days I will beat Raam to the top of a hill. Then I will be INVINCIBLE, INVINCIBLE I tells ye.

Some say that he sleeps with a chunk of tarmac under his pillow...

...and that his bathroom is tiled with sheets of tyre rubber.

All we know is that he's called blorg...

Chips Lovell

Will definitely be there for 6:20, so wait for me.

My Spin: 56Km
Avg Speed : 24.6
Legs: a bit tired because of yesterday's spins up the Mtns
Map: ... well let's say we never made it to Maynooth ( wrong turn )
Ended up back in the park, Did a couple of laps with Niceonetom and headed home... not sure why the group got split at that stage.

Nice, easy and agreable spin ... couldn't have done anything more tonight.

Photo: This is us here ...

Bambaata

53.2km here at a 26.2 average. got two nice laps of a section of the park in with ba. hopefully get out again soon!? need to get back into shape pronto and a few spins a week will definitely help that!

Caroline_ie

Just calculated that I cycled 650km in the past 10 days ... and I think I'm missing a spin so it could be more ,,, and that also not including my commute of 4k a day to work ( that's a crappy commute distance ) ... I think I will take a few days off, my body is not used to it and is wondering what the hell is going on ...

Cadex

Hey hope you guys had a good one tonight. Are there any planned for later in week? I won't be out the weekend (despite great weather predictions) because I am off to see the end of the TdeF in Paris at the weekend!!!!

Sorry to name drop, but I had to share...!

In work till 6.30 on Thursday, no hills for me - Will be in the park with my Trek that day tho. I need to readjust a few things since I am taking this one to France in 13 days and I haven't used it in a while.

Is there a nice Wicklow spin on Sat Morning thought?
