Anyone know what tonights route will be?
See you all at 7:30 (assuming it’s not pouring!)
November 8th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
nothing planned Ryan so if you are gonna be there then I’d be happy for you to lead the way
November 9th, 2006 at 10:26 am
deadly spin last night lads-I knew it was a good idea putting Ryan in front - he led us on a very merry route all round the forest including Daggets which is in really good condition for this time of year, and the ‘no-dabs’ section, again, in great nick, and pretty mad in places, the new DH section we rode is really good too - great company and weather and route = great night out!
I reckon the Cromie lad is now hooked on the night rides, Stevies lamps shone the way to a new dimension in biking for him!
I might even do it again Friday night if this great weather holds..any takers?
Note;
Some lads from last night are gonna be reported to the MTB cop-out commission for skipping track sections and not staying on their bikes when there’s a steep bank section … ye are being watched!

Yeah - great spin. Noel set some pace at the start!
I was taking names of the people who didn’t do the drop… “Emmmm, my lights don’t offer enough contrast…” I know who you are!
I would have been on for Friday night but I have to go home to Monaghan this evening…

It was a good spin alright, although I never really got into the flow. All the time off the bike is starting to show. I like that new DH track too - looking forward to trying it in daylight.

Tom calls it “temporary absence of Mojo” Morgan, the “Mojo” always returns after a few spins
November 9th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Yeah - and if the mojo is not returning put on gripper tires. That seems to work too!
November 10th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
bugger i’ve been sussed, but the lights really didn’t give good contrast…..i blame it on the dark, i’m scared of it, long time deep rooted psychological fear of it, Tom i need help….that was a deadly spin think santa is gettin a revised chrimbo list….must get more woolie socks though, only got back the feelin in my right toes at home after a full blat of the cars melters round the M50
November 10th, 2006 at 12:34 pm
did you see that video of damo duggan doing that ladder drop down daggets, fair play, i was lookin at that in dark the other night thinkin not a chance, but there you are all it takes is balls, big brassy ones at that
November 10th, 2006 at 4:06 pm
yeah, that lad isn’t afraid of much, I might give that a drop a go when Stevie lands me his new bike for a spin - eh Steve? eh?
November 12th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
Ha! good luck with that Fergal, will have to see about that. Loyke, what if the carbon shock protector gets scratched loyke! Just think of the carbon! Wont someone please think of the carbon!!!!
November 13th, 2006 at 4:09 pm

didn’t think psyche-students had access to that type of hardware Tom, then again, if it’s on the syllabus, and you need to practice on someone, there’s a few EPIC boys that could do with a few jolts of the sparky stuff, I’ll send em your way…
