Sunday 18th - Marathon Spin - Enniskerry to Glendalough - 9am

Not sure what people are up to but the weather is to be good and the European Marathon champs ain't far away so I've come up with an idea someone might have a better one or some suggestion to make this better if so post away!

Parking at the fruit shop in Enniskerry
Head for Glencree on the road
Over to Maulin
Alpine route to Ride rock
Sleepers around Djouce to Lough Tay
From there it is the Wicklow way to Glendalough( I've done it once two years ago and follow the signs and got there so I would be hoping to do the same don't know it very well)
Take a breather in Glendo grab something to eat
Head back on the road
Maybe grab a sneaky lap of g-ride if the coast is clear
Head back n the road by Ballinasloe to Djouce taking the trails down to the water fall
out the gate through Powercourt house and hotel and back to Enniskerry

Thats a plan I have and here is the strava I did 2 years ago Not the same spin but it is the route I intend to take from the top of Ballinastoe to gendo

What you think??

Sounds good Chris see you there

I need to be home for 1pm so I would join you if it was leaving at 8am. Provided the weather is ok

Happy days Chris I'm in
Still ok for a lift Oscar ?
8:15 at the KCR ?

Cheers Chris see you in the morning

see you there lezzers

See you there is the morning lads. Plenty of places to jump on/off

I'd say a shop stop will be in order in Laragh so bring your pocket money!

Max 8 bells in too early especially when coming from the Northside but sure do some of the Tuesday loop and meet us in Glencree and bail early if that suits you!

Does any body has a bit of chain lube in the car tomorrow. I ran out today and would be good to stick some on the chain tomorrow. Cheers

Pissed off. Woke up at 9.30. Usually awake at 6 am gagging for a spin. Ended up doing a spin around gods on my tod.

Unreal spin today 60k covered ride rock, river valley, djouce, ballinastoe , couple of laps of the gride and ww to laragh
Trails were riding unreal weather was perfect and at times I felt like the weak link with Chris and rudolf flying it quick stop for coffee and cake in laragh then a burn home on the road. Best day out on the bike for ages with a great crew
Cheers lads

Deadly spin today great flow to it no hanging about! Steady to a little fast on up hills and breakneck speed on the downs seem to be the order of he day! Loads of little trails and all round great terrain on the stretch of the wicklow way between ballinastoe and Laragh I'll need to venture back that way soon! G ride was deadly even if a little storm damages! Coffee break was well needed before the furious gallop home! Enjoyed the shite out of that! Thanks lads!

Great spin from start till finish. Great group out and deadly route. Nice adventure. Good idea Chris to do that route again soon. Cant believe Oscar missed this spin. see ya all next time. Cheers. Alfie wins best dressed for the spin.
