[SPIN] Saturday 7th June

[Cormac]

Greetings All,


For those of us not MAD enough to be doing the Wicklow 200/100, I shall be leading an easy spin to Leadmines this saturday


We shall be starting from Palmers Golden Ball pub at 10am. This is the safest place to park. Directions are in the link below. The map shows the trailhead.

For those who have not been there before, Leadmines has some of the finest singletrack around. It is the site of the EPIC racecourse, with separate loops of varying difficulty. A nice rocky decent(check out the MAD Beginners Ride of Awesomeness video at http://www.madmtb.com/photogallery/video-gallery/#). Not to mention the infamous boxing ring, where contentious comittee issues are "resolved".


I would expect to be finished by 1:00-1:30 pm (this route is quite compact so there are some drop-out points).


The pace will be very relaxed. Bring lots of water, food,spares and a rain coat (if the long range forcast can be counted on).

I hope the graduates of the recent Beginners Course can make it along to this.

[Gogs]

I think we prefer to be called Easy Riders at this stage!!


I'll definately be there!

[Colm]

Hmmmm... "Easy Riders" are we that sort of club???

[ciaranc]

We should be called the rolling thunders if you ask me .

[Gogs]

We are now! CUT YOUR HAIR!!!!

[Liam]

Finally! A fun spin to Leadmines, I've always wanted to go there but never had the chance and I'm 99% sure I'm not working this Sat so I'll see you there Cormac.

Hi,


I didn't graduate from the beginners course, but I would be very interested in tagging along is that cool?

[Morgan]

That's grand rj, come along, we'll be able to sort out the tattoo at a later date.

[Conor]

Are we not using the branding irons any more Morgan?

[Morgan]

No, we decided to change that with the arrival of the new club kit. Also, it doesn't have to be on the forehead any more.

[Conor]

I must have missed that memo!

[Conor]

I ment to say, I'll be at the spin tomorow too.

[Richie]

me too - providing I can get out of bed after the beers I'm going to have tonight - essential pre Wicklow 200 training.

[tom]

sounds good to me too. Will have to shake off the tonights beers somehow. essential training for saturday night beers

[Gogs]

have to amend my emphatic confirm of early posting. Still a bit battered and bruised afte last night so should probably give it a rest tomorrow.


Alternatively, I"m heading up to the Phoenix park on sunday late morning/early afternoon if anyone's interested.


Enjoy the mines!
