Djouce Pre-ride

[Richie]

I have room for one bike tomorrow (managed to lose another strap off the bike rack). And will be in the general Tallaght area around 12ish. Drop me a txt if yer in need. 085 1715571.


BTW, does anyone know where I can get spare straps for a Thule bike rack? Or anywhere I can get similar nylon straps with a buckle?


accuweather.com is predicting 'Periods of rain, sleet or snow. Winds from the NW at 40 km/h' for Sunday. I know Met Eireann are a bit more optimistic, but accuweather lads are scarily on the ball with this weather forecasting lark.


Tomorrow is looking great though - 'Sunny periods. Winds from the NW at 38 km/h.'

The weather will be fine... Ice and snow might make Xtacy more interesting but it just adds a bit more character to the whole event. Should be taking delivery of some shiny new bits for my bike today including a jet engine to make me go that little bit faster over the weekend so watch out this time paddy...

haha .. yeah well i was doing my sneaky training* again last night .. building up the stamina .. didn't finish till about 4am. Feel a little ill and tired now though


:-(


*training with not a bike in sight i might add

[ollietrex]

Well I expect that training to be happening again tonight and saturday so you are in fighting fit form for race on Sunday. You know how much you will love those steep climbs after a night on the beer....

[Fergal]

don't know how you do it Paddy......

[paddyobrien]

when you see my lap times you'll realise that i don't really do it very well though!


Still, life needs variety, i'd just get bored with too much training or taking it all too seriously, or working too much for that matter.

I agree ! Lets see who can go the fastest after a dodgy kebab and a hangover! By the way, I can offer a lift to one person both saturday and sunday. Text me or post here if your stuck.
