Club trip - Ballyhora and Bike park Ireland - 7th of November

At a recent committee meeting we decided it about time we had a club trip!

Were talking biking a mix of Enduro and xc at a pace compatible with everyone having the craic along the way!
So time to get the permission slips in and cash in the brownie points for a night away with the club!

Loose plan of action:

On the bikes in Ballyhora at say 12 bells, do a good four hours or more on the bike mix of the trail centre and gravity trails plenty of breaks for snacks, picture and the like.

Then head back to the Ballyhora hostel in Ardparick, this is the ritz of hostels brand new, bike washes, secure lock up, showers, great communal areas, great kitchen and the most comfortable beds and spacious rooms.

Sure have a look at the website: http://www.ballyhourahostel.ie

Ive have been talking to Seamus and there is plenty of availability for that weekend

For an evening meal we have a few options which we can decided on closer to the time:

2 course meal in the hostel €20
The chipper
Or cook up a big meal

Then a few mandatory club oranges in one of the local establishments of course

Then grab breakfast in the hostel Sunday morning and on to bike park Ireland for the uplifts

Plenty if availability there too

Suit yourselves there with a half day or a full day.

It gets messy collecting money and booking for a big group so best off to book your own hostel and uplifts I hope people are ok with this?

Ballyhoura hostel no. 063 91625
And the bpi uplifts are done through the website http://www.bikeparkireland.ie

Yahoo lets get as many people as possible!
Going anybody else?
have stayed here before last year for 3 nights good accommodation hostel is in Kilfinane other option on diner is in Mollys takes bookings http://www.mollysrestaurant.ie/ excellent collection of pubs to socialise in or stay in and sit in front of fire and have a glass or two wine or a cup of tea
Will be going down myself on the thurs or Friday if any body has any extra time will decide nearer time and will be cycling over to trail centre on sat morning cross country on some trails about 50 min back on road about 25 min

So who's going don't be shy now
