Excellent. I'll confirm tomorrow if that's ok and PM contact details.

mirv

I might be up for the second half too, weather dependant - would probably prefer a later start than 7am though.

godtabh

i'd like to be back before 1 so thats why i was saying 7. what time would you suggest?

wanderer 22

I'd be up for tagging along sunday,anytime suits.

daragh_

If I'm out I would need to be back by about 1/1.30 like godtabh so an early start is good. 7 or 8 works well.

We need to have Mirv in case we run out of drinks

mirv

Those rock shandies don't find themselves!

Zyzz

Tempted to do this, however Ive noticed an annoying scraping sound when I pedal out of the saddle..then disappears for the rest, and I know Id be out of the saddle for a lot of this lol

mirv

It's probably your chainring rubbing off your front derailleur. Maybe index it and set the limits properly.

Its more a scraping/twisting sound..really hard to describe

Sounds like its coming from the BB or rear hub, but they've both been replaced recently so it could be anything

Headset or stem when you put more pressure on front of bike?

I don't think so, it sounds like a sort of hollow creak/scrape..but only when I'm out of the saddle or pushing hard on the pedals (just like out of the saddle climbing)

Edit: PING sound..that's the word I was looking for

Zyzz

Ah jaysus, after some quick googling and a flip of the front wheel..the sound is gone..looks like I've used up my only excuse..balls

mirv

Maybe clean the axles and dropouts of both the front and rear wheel and where it meets the frame. I get creaks if grit gets in between where the axle clamps down on the frame.

godtabh

Any ideas for a route for sunday?

I was thinking of doing this tomorrow

mirv

Maybe 8am sunday (if I'm not destroyed by tomorrows spin). Maybe meet at Ballyboden Roundabout? (at the base of stocking lane and cruagh road)

Sounds good. If I show it's because I want Mirv to tell me how adjust my rear mech.

And for the free fizzy.

I'll have to google that. I'll be out for a tough one tomorrow so we can take it easy on Sunday

mirv

Back from cycle4dsi, shattered as have been off the saddle for a little bit. People still up for a spin sunday morning? I'll do as much as my legs or pace allows. Also, I'm planning on doing the MB200 next week, but I've got to check when registration closes for that.

I did a good effort so probably in the same boat as you but I'll be there for a relaxed spin. Aim for 80/100km?

wanderer 22

I'd be up for that too, see yous at 8?

Is that at Taylors Lane/Ballyboden Road? Not familiar with the area?

Zyzz

Can someone please aware me of what 8am is? Thanks in advance.

It's an hidden dimension, only accessible by seventh sons, gingers and people with small children.

Explains why I have never heard of it.

daragh_

On the way

godtabh

I'll be leaving in about 5 mins

mirv

Having breakfast.

The tax man

I'll tag along for an hour or so. Have to be back for work at 9.30am.

ArdRi71

Jealous! Have to work today

godtabh

Just back. Sound lads. Thanks for dragging me around

Evil 100

daragh_

Good spin lads thanks. Mirv, my bike is shifting perfectly!

Rock Shandies all round.

wanderer 22

Enjoyed that, cheers lads. A bit faster than my usual pace, so I'll be feeling it tomorrow.

mirv

Signed up for the Mick Byrne 200 yesterday. Who's coming?

Also, anyone up for a decent spin the next weekend? It's the last chance to get a long spin in before the Evil.

Alek

See you there Mirv

Leroy42

I'll be doing the MB 200 on Sunday (although I thought I was doing the Mount Leinster until Family got in the way).

"I could have been somebody if it wasn't those meddling kids!"

godtabh

Not around this weekend. Hope to be doing Molls Gap or something similar this weekend

Rather than flipping the wheel, try adding a small bit of lube between the fork dropouts and the faces of the axle locknuts and skewer. That has solved what sounds like the same problem for me on at least 2 different bikes.

mirv

Got the Mick Byrne 200 out of the way this year albeit slower and wetter than last year. Spin this saturday or sunday? Maybe 100-150km?

I d be interested, possibly turn back around 50km, but will depend on the weather. I ve zero interest this year in getting and staying wet.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to sparkle motion.

I'm around for an early spin Saturday, I'd be up for 100k or so.

What's all this meeting up for spins prior to the day itself. I thought we were all supposed to be off training on our own, in black kit, after telling everybody we would be in Naas but actually doing altitude training in Kippure.

I've also been checking around the pharmacies and none of seem to stock those Columbian Cough drops.
