    Sounds dodgy Peadar, I won't ask for more details.

    Most definitely count me in, haven't been out in a while and the Sean Kelly looms.

    I dont mind an earlier time. Looks like a good route, but I may be in the mood for something longer. This will probably change at 8 am on saturday morning :)

    9am is good for me. We could extend that route to take in the Wicklow Gap from the easy side, and then head back up Lugalla?

    131km

    107km easier option

    Buachaill, there is always a big range of ability and everyone does a different distance, you can turn off at any time. Come along, from the sounds of your commuting you will be more than up to it.

    It's my first boards spin, so I have no illusions about achieving the multi-marathon distance this crowd seem to eat for breakfast.

    Come along and see how far us newbies get and we can head back when blorg and Raam & Co are still doing their 65km warm-up:D:D:D

    Im in

    Only got 3hours tomorrow. should be enough to cover a 65km+ spin. Got a new bike through the door this morning so it'll be a great way to break it in plus my crash bruises are starting to fade.

    I might turn off and do the shorter one in that case. Want to be home by lunchtime. However, do you fancy doing that road between Bohernabreena and the Sally Gap - Kilbride Road. Apparently it's a continuation of the Bohernabreena climb. Our club Hill Climb TT went up that way and I want to try it out.
