Weekend Antics

Our planned “intermediate” ride last weekend was cut short by unexpected weather conditions. We’ll be giving it another go this Saturday instead. We’ll be departing from Ticknock car park at 10am for a ride up over Three Rock and down to Leadmines. This will be a fun spin so you don’t have to be super fit, however we will be riding some technical trails (up and down) so you should be comfortable with that. You can find a Google Earth map of the route here.

The fourth and final round of the winter DH league takes place this Sunday. Fergal and Steve are now experienced racers so we expect them do do us proud. The race is open to everyone but a full face helmet is required.

Some of us will be riding down to watch the race and give support. Leaving the Yellow House at 9am (pace: awesome) we’ll head over Three Rock to Prince Williams Seat and around the back of Cloon. We’ll return via Glencree and Cruagh.

    one is of course talking about sunday morning so tht one would be on time for the DH action.

  4. glenn-danzig (aka barry o'brien) Says:

    oh one knows the way, but one is bringing a friend who would class oneself as a beginner(sorry if one reads this and is offended!), so lots of stops would probably be in order.

    when does the action begin in cloon?

    Do you remember me riding to Cloon?.. that’s the pace it would be at….

    the action kicks off at 12 but if a show of the same amount of people were to arrive at the race again you should have no need to worrie but they kick off at 12 pm sharp

    I’m gonna miss Sunday altogether so will be looking to get as much out of Sat as I can, thus I’m gonna do a 1.5hr demon spin before the 10am improvers spin on Sat - meeting Taylors 8:30am
    Anyone that wants to come along please do, I gonna be trying my best to flog myself on this spin thus little hanging around….
    If I collapse on the 10am spin you’ll have an idea why…
