Still planning for the early start? If so I'm out - I managed to miss a 9.30 spin in dublin last week so no chance of making one 2 hours down the road :P

I'm coming from Dublin also, so thats why the question mark around the time. Would 11am start be better for all concerned? Still get a full day in.

c montgomery

Unfortunately i cant make it but ill be up there on Friday if anyone fancies going for a spin.

Rapidmike

I'm ok for either time .. Can we get all who expressed interest to confirm so we can organise the best start time that suits all ????
Thanks to those who already have ..
If 9.30 suits some let's do the brown twice if the weathers good , if not start 11 all together .

Hey,

I'm still in, I'll do what ever. But would be an utter shame to to the brown route and not at least lash down the start section of the white. Is only an extra 10-15 mins at most.

Rapidmike

Adrian
we'll see how many turn up and what their up for ??
I'd love to do the full White if the interest is there .
We can see at the log and decide then ??

Rapidmike

9.30 will suit me. I'll be in an 06 silver Mondeo with a white GT on the roof.
Looking forward to this.

The joys, I did a cork road spin which was a solo ride:rolleyes:

Not to worry mike, fingers crossed I'll be riding in a few weeks again.

adrianshanahan

Hey,

After a big day kayaking yesterday followed by a spin in Ballinastoe I just slept right in this morning.

Made up for it this afternoon with some serious adventurism in Woodstock woods (photos to follow)

Cheers Rapidmike, I was going over the preps on the bike and discovered the fault. I tried the trailriders website but there is no opening times and could not take a risk of driving down. I even had the sat nav ready

Its funny I've being purchasing tools over the past year but little in the way for spare parts.

Rapid and Okane

I was there aswell, however we did not start untill almost midday

and did not finish untill a little after 3 pm.

long cold damp trip, by 22 miles we had enough,

there was a fair bit of waiting around , as my colleague was nervous of the boards , then he dissappeared near the end , so i had to back track about 1/2 a mile.

White trail, would certainly be down again to tackle one of the other trails.

not sure how to get to brown / red etc , must study the m,aps a bit more.


went to a local the night before glenshambone or something to apub called an sliabh ria, apparantly no closing time there !!!

good day will be back
