Now folks this spin is for S1/S2 and Senior 1 ladies and top Senior 3 men. Nobody else. I don't like doing the email list and a spin will be organised for the next level riders.
I only have one rule for these spins, you go on them and you don't drop down if its too hard, you train to stay on them. Don't step up this week and step down the next.
The route this week is ;
Roundwood
Kazs first half
Lough Dan
The Wilderness
Military Road
Scarr from the Glenmacnass side
and back the wicklow way
Kazs second half
this will be 3 hours in the wilderness, I recommend you bring a set of balls and a big bike that you can ride. There will be massive climbing and massive descending, its unlikely any of you have done this one before .
Wow wee, That was a true Adventure, I have never been on 90% of those trails the one around lough Derg was fantastic, savage views. Great gang and great craic. We did well by avoiding the rain for the most part, Jeasus there was ome amount of walkers out. MTBkazland is deadly too, thanks Richie deadly spin as always.
that was lough Dan, ye looney..Niall Quinlan is the funniest fooker ever on a spin..great spin though, some adventure, the Climb up the back of Scarr in the dry will be the ultimate but the singletrack along the lake is unmatchable. Absolutely amazing. Non stop spin with a small but deadly crew..Smithers crash on Scarr was hilarious..
well done folks..photos being uploaded to facebook ! I hope nobody falls off another mountain than Scarr because the whole Mountain Rescue was up there !!
for future reference I will be doing my Sunday spins as training for the Gravity Events..They will be big mountain spins , I am not training for XC races on them or doing big mileage, its the adventure I'm after. But don't let that fool you in to thinking they are easy meat..they aren't , a savage descent always requires a savage climb to get to it..Fair play to Steo on his Hardtail, great for going up but he must have scared the bejaysus out of himself coming down Scarr !
thanks again richie for another epic adventure!..wasent feeling 100% today but a deadly spin with a great group,that trail up and over lough dan was amazing,yeah 100mm forks dont do you any favours on the way down scarr,looking forward to these spins when i finally get my hands on a big bike....feckin hell steve p was like a machine today!
