Sorting the men from the fairweather bikers - a wednesday autumn ride out

Tree

Right so, time to whip out the sexy rain gear and find your thermal undies.

I'm proposing an evening spin on wednesday 9th of september from 7pm.

Route yet to be decided, but with a warm pub/café en route for warming up in. Suggestions for a spin of up to 90 mins are welcome (plus tea/coffee time in the middle) I'll stick a proposed route up later if noone beats me to it

Xios

I'd be interested in going, never been on a run before, just me and my 2 friends going up the mountains, i'm getting my new fazer 600 this weekend, jumping from a 125, i'd like to come along, get a feel for the bike, get some advice off you guys, but i'm gonna be taking it slow, trailing behind a lot.

Tree

More than welcome to join us dude. Not all of us are speed demons, in fact, i would certainly say i drive like a girl :P

Now that you mention it - you do.

I will be there, as long as the weather is not like today.

What is the plan - Where are we meeting? What time? South side route?

Tree

I'm voting southside (so i can get home faster in teh cold....)

Hopefully I'll be able to make this one.

Xios - I have a Fazer and I plan on going. You'll love the Fazer.

Kami - try not to crash.

P.C. - look at the title of the thread. Your not allowed to not go regardless of weather. It's on the rules of the talking tree.

Tree - I still can't believe it's a talking tree.

Everyone - Hi everybody!:D

google maps reckons the two bits of route dont actually join up, though i am skeptical. Prolly take an hour, can go in either direciton, stop for coffee in eniskerry or the like

P.C.

Where are we meeting, and what time?

Tree

gates of marley park or some scenicy bit fo black rock, either end sure. 7pm good for all?

7pm is fine. We should meet from 6:30, than we can leave at 7.

What if we meet here? There is a Texaco petrol station there.

Then we can go along the coast, and come back down into BallyB.
So, Clockwise around.

Tree

plan!

DonkeyRhubarb

Bloody pain in the a**e (low level mutters) most people here on southside (more low lever mutters) making me commute!

Ah hello there!

My awful knowledge of the southside usually gets me lost there, but Ill mosie on over. (mutter, mutter).

It get dark much earlier these nights, so it will have to be a short enough spin!

thehomeofDob

Wow, might be able to make this! Will see if the girlfriend will let me get away for a few hours. She's on the the southside so I'll be down shankill way anyway.

thehomeofDob

How many going so far?

DonkeyRhubarb

The usual suspects. So that would be four I imagine. Lol:D

thehomeofDob

and the definite meeting place? I haven't gone for a spin in ages, and I have the day off, so I'd love to go.

Someone sort out a weekend spin while we're at it

Ah sure you might as well do it now that you're online, yours is the only route that'll end up in Bray for ice cream anyway

OK - but it is going to be a route that you might have done before.

Actually how about this? A bit different than the usual Wicklow spin clicky

DonkeyRhubarb

I really don't wanna go to Wickla again. Lovely scenery, but it's a blur.

P.C.

Or this.

We will have to talk about this tomorrow.
