Seen 2 tandums, got talking a bit to one of them, a yank couple.
I was very happy to get round it in under 7 hours, a bit stiff now but the lubricant is working. Don't know what I would do without uncle arthur! Neil and Leo flew past me with a few miles left but I had to let them go without a race to the line because I was waiting for my mate

pot p · 09-07-2012 5:01pm

VinylJunkie · 09-07-2012 6:07pm

Nice one, hope you got descent weather over there. I've no route worked out yet (might recycle one of Steves routes) but something around the 40km as was out this morning and don't want to overdo it :-)

Does Tyrellstown roundabout at 7pm suit you? I sent you my number in a pm.

VinylJunkie · 17-07-2012 4:58pm

Perfect

awec · 17-07-2012 6:12pm

anyone on the southside heading out tonight?

jaqian · 17-07-2012 10:01pm

Thanks for the cycle tonight VinylJunkie, actually did 55.8km all-in-all counting the trip up to Blanch and back

VinylJunkie · 18-07-2012 9:52am

Yeah was a good spin, we were fairly motoring. Faster average speed than the last time I done that route and there was only the two of us.

I was surprised at how fast we went considering we were both tired. My Strava app paid we averaged 28.1km, which is a new one for me :-)

tempted, but not signed up just yet. if i do it will probaboly be for the 100k. reason being, i would like to do the lonmger distance, but i think i would probably just get left behind by the group and ebd up doing it on my own!

just see now that i missed early bird registration

thought it was expensive till i realised you get a free jersey with your entry

pot p · 20-07-2012 1:55pm

I've not signed up for it yet but i'm very very tempted. Don't know what to do

funkyjebus · 20-07-2012 2:03pm

Also tempted. Will be doing the Sean Kelly for sure though.

definately wont be doin that. unfortunately though because i would love to but am not available that weekend. swmbo has me minding the kids cause she is off on a hen!

im definately going to do the leinster loop though on the 19th

Seve OB · 20-07-2012 2:11pm

just sent them an email to see if they will still honour the early bird registration

what distance would you guys be on for signing up for if you were to go ahead with it?

I'm doing the 160km as well if a few of you want to meet up.

btw don't forget you can pre-register on Saturday and save yourself a lot of hassle.

VinylJunkie · 20-07-2012 3:06pm

Its just dawned on me that I might be biting off a bit more than I can chew :O

Man up! Its not that bad as far as pink goes, in fact......I kinda like it

Let me know if you get an email back Steve, if I can stil get the early bird I'll definately do it, although I feel slighty scabby saying that considering it's a chartiy event!

Think I'd do the 160k, its only 750m of climbing.

Here ya go! Time to euro it up!

If im rocking that pink jersey, I'll probably have to wear my boards bibs for symmetry, although the pinks don't quite match, so I might look stoopid! Oh what to wear:p

You'll be fine for 160k, sure you did over 100kwith loads of tough climbs a few weeks ago and you were looked fine.

VinylJunkie · 21-07-2012 11:41am

Anyone around today? I'm going to head up towards Sally Gap.

VinylJunkie · 21-07-2012 8:08pm
