looks like you rode it south to north denbatt? i prefer it the other way so you descend the switchbacks.

that's at least two Rose bikes that have been up there now..:)

Could slideshow bob tell us where the first image 'Bog road between and Cashla' was captured. There is a bog road linking the Clifden - Ballyconneelly road to Toombeola outside Clifden.

Yes it's that one - getting my Cashlas and Cashels confused unfortunately.
Position of photo is +53°27'47.40", -10°0'20.40"

Hope you enjoyed your cycle in the area. Was out there myself on Saturday but did not meet any other cyclists.

Hmmzis

Nice morning today.

I need to increase my water bottle size for refills :rolleyes:

A wine cellar on the Bottelary Road, a very convenient training route between Stellenbosch & the CT Northern Suburbs. (Bottelary = bottling plant, after all the wine cellars in the area)

Summer is here (not to make ye jealous or anything). garmin said 27 degrees

denbatt

Night spin around the city last night with a buddy who said we should go up Patricks hill, this was the view towards the Shandon Bells.


Note drunk man staggering up the hill on the right

Day started wonderfully:


Even the tunnel was nice


then it kinda went down hill and head over heels.


I hit a very hard to see speed bump, flipped over frontward and landed directly on my head and rolled onto my shoulder and back.
Bike ended in the ditch (without any major damage) and I ended up on the road with quite a lot of major damage.
6 hours in hospital and a shedload of pills was the result. Helmet cracked all over and pretty impacted on top.

swollen face, black eyes, shoulder torn open and really swollen back of neck and shoulders. they don't think I got concussion though so prob not that 'major',
enough to get 40 tabs of codine though, good times ahead.

Well obviously you're not going to be allowed back on the bike today. My advice is to rest tomorrow as well. You can start back with hill intervals on Tuesday.
You're certain the bike is ok?

Get well soon; don't remember tarata direction having speed bumps, did that happen near Inglewood?

le petit braquet

Get well soon and back on your bike, but I'm sure Boardsies are also hanging on eagerly for the fate of your lime/green. Would you recommend it for encounters with speed bumps? Did if survive unscathed? If it didn't will you be organising the next order?:D

Sorry to hear that CM, hope you get well soon!

Anyway, went for a short spin up from Knocklyon for Featherbeds yesterday evening and found myself in this, never cycled through fog this bad before!

velopeloton

Short ride from home to Lac d'Estaing, it's a 15km climb gaining 600m. it was 4c leaving home and -3c at the top. Had 4 layers for going up and 6 for coming down. Toastie.

@cookie_monster, sorry to hear of your spill. If your jersey is torn I'm sure _tyrell_ would hook you up again
