In an unprecedented show of organisation we’ve already planned some spins for this weekend. We’ll be having our regular club spin on Saturday morning. This spin is open to riders of all levels. The destination this week is Masseys Wood and the Hellfire club. Leaving the Merry Ploughboy pub at 10am.

Sunday’s spin will be a bit more extreme. Leaving Kindlestown car park at 10am we’ll take in GOTD and the Sugarloaf summit. This will be technically and physically challenging spin so if you’re unsure, ask before coming along.

This event has been a hellish mud-fest for the last few years so lets hope that the MAD odd-couple can survive without drowning, falling apart or losing the will to live.
