I think we counted 5 in total by the time we got to cloon. Although given that his tire was flat there it may actually have been 6!!!<br/><br/>Sean you obviously need to lose a bit of weight!

God Dammit. <br/><br/>I had a sleeping-in catastrophy and only made it up to the ticknock car park at 10:25. Met Louis, packing away his poor bike, who told me I'd missed everyone by just a few mins. Ahh!! Hadn't really studied to route map, so I decided to pull a Nancy Drew on the situation and follow your tracks. Managed to lose them at the aerials, along with my sense of direction. It was cool though, had my ipod blasting in my ears so it was exactly like being inside a crazy mountain biking video. Except without the skillz. Eventually made it to the leadmines (via Wexford, probably) at about 12:30, where I met Arik (sp?) from Poland who was also doing loops and looking for you guys, so all was not lost. Got home at 3pm. Gorgeous day for a spin. <br/><br/>Next week I'll have a complex system of booby-trapped alarms in place to get my sleepy ass out of bed on time. <br/><br/>See yas then!

aluminium), Rob, Oisin and myself.
Headed up toward Fairycastle then left at the junction and followed the trail along to the edge of the forest, Oisin headed-off

to claim his MTBer of the year award from UCD (nice!) while the rest of us continued on down the wicked descent to the

entrance at the lower fireroad.

Climbed up and back across to the trail I had made an exit slope for, which turned out to have

been somewhat wrecked, then halfway down the boneshaker and split left to join the Improvers spin at the upper car park.

The Improvers spin provided great entertainment (great sunshine too) - an awful lot of bodies and bikes flying through the

air, rollling down slopes, arse-first skids, shouts of “waheey” and “oh no” and “agghh jesus help me”, very few escaped the

wrath of “no-dabs”….

The bermy rollercoaster down to Barnacullia (or whatever) was brilliant - nice one Mr Chariman.
The right-of-way provided the opportunity for some outlandish-action (sort-of) videos… Mogan will be submitting them for the next Kranked/Earthed DVD.

…and I’d like to write more but I’m off to the pub!
See ye on the trails soon
Keep it fast and fyoooorious
Mr Secretary
