Good gang out tonight , the weather looked grim leaving the house but it was a fine evening.Max was playing games with Alfie and me with his fresh" I have been watching tennis on tellybox all week legs"!!!all good fun but I must conquer the WW climb up to the water bars . Very hard climb
Oh and Mickky broke another saddle
Another great spin ... I really love that route , It can be a cruel mistress at times but a good mix of terrain keeps it interesting .. Fierce warm out and we managed to stay ahead of the rain .. Great burst back on the road with Colm , Dave & Mickey all of us taking turns to do abit at the front and then a Roadie that we caught up with in Kilternan made a break for it and the rest is just a Blur .Roll on next week !! Thanks lads ..
Struggled at the start with Alf for company,Steve P and Max up the trail a bit ahead.Then on the climb over the 2 turnstiles up to the mini bog of death it was me and Steve P at the back with Alf and Max just ahead,Steve P had a wheel come loose and Alf found some energy!! At the bog of death I broke a saddle rail,so had to stop to fix it,the 3 lads lads rode into the distance.So after my saddle repair I took off alone,only to get a puncture at the end of the bog of death,was changing that when Gary,Colm and Dave came along.They waited for me to get going again and we rode on,only for Oz to pass us at Bag of Chips.Us 4 stuck together all the way to Kilternan,were some roadie decieded to make a break,so me and Gary jumped on to his wheel!!Caught Oz at Stepaside,so he jumped onto the freight train too.I thanked the roadie for the tow back at Doyles Cross,although he looked shocked we were still with him! Weather was grand,and not too muddy. Thanks lads.
