    Hi all,

    I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere so apologies if I'm asking a stupid question, but...

    Are the Boards spins still a thing these days? About 8-9 years ago before moving away I went on a few with the likes of Borg, El Tonto et al. Now back in Dublin and I don't see any word of them.

    On that note, what's the Dublin Critical Mass like? Frequented them in London and they were great, but obviously the bike scene here is a wee bit smaller...!

    blorg last seen travelling through Asia, el Tonto is here still, although now known by another name, tiny explosions lives in England now. several others still dip their toes in, raam, lumen, niceonetom etc. I've not been on a boards spin in about 7 years myself.

    Thanks kenmc. Be good to get something like this going again, even if only a handful around are keen.

    "What happened while I was gone?"
    "Blorg left then everyone went mental. Beginner spins are now 5400m over 286km".
    "Oh".

    It's how Blorg would want it. "It's just a little further, you'll be fine."

    Getting back to this...

    Been heading out with a couple of mates 3-4 times a week, starting from Dundrum/Churchtown area. 50-70km midweek spins, 100kmish weekend spin, all through Wicklow/Sally Gap region. If anyone's looking to join on, PM me. It's a case of more-the-merrier!
