Boards T/D/A Cycle around Lough Derg

Solobally8

Hi all
There has been talk on my log about a group of us going for a cycle around Lough Derg. It's about 110ish kms depending on the route you take. Maybe we could start discussing when it could happen? Everyone welcome and I might even put one or two of ye up in my spare room

Oh and I'm still slow and scared by the way so its not going to be a race Trig1 :-)

career move

I'll come

Are mountain bikes allowed?

Geographically speaking, where is lough derg based? (google tells me donegal or limerick?)

Sorry I should have said Lough Derg in Tipperary/Limerick/Clare. Would be hoping to meet up in Birdhill/Kilaloe or Nenagh maybe

I am potential yes if dates suit..have family in Limerick so I am sorted accommodation wise! Mind you, i'm slow as f*ck, but improving!! Hills are not my forte though!

Depends on the date, and if zimmer frames are allowed.

The Galway contingent could cycle down and meet at Portumna to join ye for the finish of the loop back to Ballina and then continue back up for their second half to Galway?

Hopefully, but my cars fooked so maybe not unless I can scab a lift from Dublin

that works for me, i can drive to there and leave from there, makes a nice difference timewise to the drive, if the dates suit of course,

Not trying to be a pain in the ass, but

Sat 25th or Sunday 26th April - Joey Hannon

Sunday 3rd or Monday 4th May (bank Holiday) - Great Limerick Run, so Sunday out at least, MOnday might work

woody1

neither weekend suits for me either, work away with it if either suits a majority though

Dory Dory

In case anyone is wondering, those weekends don't work for me either.

Will have to check the calendar at home, but I think I can do the weekend of the 16 or the 23rd of May..again, workaway with whatever dates suits everyone, and If I can I'll join! Y

Oryx

Your race date card may be empty.....but it's 110ish kms! ??? You're also going to be in Boston in, oh, about 2.5 hours....but you're not running 26.2 miles. Right? (you can answer that when you land )

Mid august seeing as a few will be doing caroline kearney/dublin the following week also...

mossym

fair few of those who expressed an interest will be a couple of weeks out from lost sheep at that point.

kind of bummed that we're into june and i haven't been around the lake yet this year, so if any of the locals are around next sunday i'm thinking of doing it as an easy spin after racing saturday

RacoonQueen

July doesn't work for me and catz as we hate our bikes enough as it is without getting back on them less than 4 weeks after IM

We'll never find a date that suits all

i'd be interested M, cant train Saturday as i'm heading to the zoo with the kids, so sunday early would suit

RacoonQueen

So, yeah, when are we doing this?
