Got my new fork and dust seals today....hopefully make it sat. Fingers crossed and all that jazz........

Kind of stumped as where to head to from Blessington tomorrow.

We could head south to Baltinglass and then head over to Tinaheely, Aughrim, Rathdrum....
We could head south down the N81 and head back inland towards Carlow and then loop back from there.
Or we could head towards Naas and beyond.

Anyone have any preferences on which way we go?

Zascar

Any sounds good to me, which are the best riding roads with the least traffic? First option sounds good I've never done it

aaakev

Im easy! Ill be there but will have to dip out after a couple of hours

aaakev

How about from blessington out to Hollywood then over the gap to laragh then out to the carpark in glenmalure?

Zascar

Sounds good to me! Maybe even the gap twice, over to Laragh and back to Hollywood and then on from there. We can work it out then. See u all at 12.30 in Blessington. Where exactly are we meeting?

Wonda-Boy

Huge ulster bank on the Main Street Colly. It's on the right hand side as you are going through.

Nice to meet you kev, lovely sound from the sv. Don't want to moan about the wind too much, (wonda-boy might give out ) but yeah it was fairly gusty up the mountain alright. We had a good spin after down through baltinglass an back through tinahely and rathdrum, nice roads and a break from the norm.

aaakev

More like a fresh breeze really if im honest......

Zascar

Absolutely brilliant spin! Best one I've had in ages. We met in Blessington, did the gap, coffee in Laragh, back over the gap, then to Baltinglas, Tinaheley, Rathdrum and then home! 200k for me. Some really great roads I do not do too often. Weather was not too bad but I might put on a few more layers under the leathers next time. Traffic after the N81 was next to nothing - lovely to have open roads. I got to give my yoke a proper squirt. Had the front raising on me a few times which was fun!



Looking forward to having a few more bikes out next time!

Wonda-Boy

Looking well there lads yiz HOOOOOLIGANS!!!

Pulled into Laragh just as you were leaving on the Ktm. Hadn't planned to go out but was collecting some stuff from m50 Ktm. Windy on the aul naked bikes across the gap but first dry run in months was nice!

Zascar

Ha, I was wondering if that was you! Nice cheeky little wheelie batman! Must be hard to keep the front down on that thing!

It is a great yoke for messing alright! Will meet up with you all for a run soon enough hopefully - the house is nearly done

Cheers - had the 950SM before it and took a while finding one for decent money. Would happily hold onto it as have done over 3 years between both and still love them! Lots of messing pretty much everywhere you go

LIES LIES LIES........headed up to Roundwood this morning 10.00.....horrible drizzle before i got near the town...headed back down towards Newtown...just as bad.....shyte spin AND the bikes all dirty now...:(

Skill Magill

Haha sort of lies all right, it threatened to drizzle for the whole spin but it didn't, some parts of the sally gap are treacherous, where the tarmac has become gravel, take it handy and its fine.
On a side note, there was some amount of cyclists out for the day, big scowley heads on them. If you hate it so much don't do it lads.
