ok i'm winning so far...

P.C.

I don't know what to vote. :eek::o

Other than work, I don't have much on for the next few weeks.
I am too poor to take holidays.

So, if I have enough notice, I should be able to make any of the dates above.*

im voting for wednesdays on the basis that im only ever free in evenings (any and all inc weekends) and some weekdays. i work weekeends and can only get them off for extra specical occasions like skipping hte country

MrJoeSoap

Most Wednesdays and Saturdays are good for me.

P.C.

Anyone come up with any ideas of a good route.

I went for an IceCream in Bray earlier this evening - took the senic route.

Odysseus

I went for wednesdays myself as I'm usually down in Dublin on wednesdays.

We should really try get as many as possible this time. The more bikes, the more crack.

Everyone, come along and if you have friends, bring them.

No horses, cattle or I'm sorry to say donkeys. You may however bring a dog if you have a sidecar.

Like I mentioned on the last rideout, it's best to ignore me whenever possible...

I have to go into work on Saturday morning. :mad::eek::o
So, I could meet you somewhere on the keys, and we could go from there if you want.

Let me know.

P.C., I could see you at the same petrol station on the quays as last time if that suits? If not, just name the place.

The one on the Quays at about 12:30.

See you there.

n.catenthusiast

see you there so...

DonkeyRhubarb

Great. I'm not familiar with the route, so if I had the panniers on my bike would I have a hard time keeping up with everyone through the traffic?

P.C.

You will be fine.

We won't filter in town. We will ride in a group.

Once we are out of town, traffic is not an issue - you just have to the odd bit of overtaking.

KamiKazi

Lets hope the weather is better than it is ATM.
