    No can do sadly. I'll be keeping an eye out for the 'Sunday Spin' thread though.

    Have a good one.

    been looking for a group for a while that rides from that side of the city.
    how far do you normally go?
    average speed?
    does it go fast at all?... id like to see a bit of action but not get blown away
    and most importantly... cafe stop?
    cheers

    Time changed to nine.

    Av speed is usually around 20-25kph -but it's easy to keep this up in a group. Route is out to Enniskerry, and decide from there -most likely up by Glencree and over Sally Gap.

    Cake stop can be added in too, and plenty of oppertunity to turn for home if you get tired.

    I'd expect to be close on 100, but again, folk peel off at various points

    I'll probably come along for a short one.

    I'm definately on for a spin on Sunday but for me would have to be after the triathlon I'm doing in the morning. Reckon the earliest I could leave town would be around the 11:30 mark, a little later after some food would work even better! I think some boardsies may be taking part/volunteering/watching so we could all head out after and pick up on the way?

    Definately on for a long Bank Holiday spin.

    Met Eireann:
    Bright or sunny spells in eastern half of the country on Saturday morning. Occasional heavy showers further west. These will spread to all areas in the afternoon, some of them thundery. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees with moderate southwest winds.

    100k @ 25km/hr... that is a little long for me to be out tomorrow.
    does anyone know of a group that does around 2hours @ 30-35km/hr flat?

    At least you won't sweat buckets like me in France ... it was 35 degrees yesterday that's a scary thought ...

    There's only one direct way from Dundrum, once you get beyond the roadworks!

    Here you go, starting at the Central Bank as it is difficult to trace the route through the estate (with the roadworks.)

    Hi- count me in. Hope we get some decent weather......Bank holiday Monday might also be a good one. Looking forward to it but little rusty - nothing to do with the rain we've been having.
