can't make tonight... there just aren't enough days in the week ;-( enjoy the shlomp ;-)

I was hoping to join yous in kindlestown tonight, I had the car packed up and ready to go when I realised I left my helmet in Carlingford yesterday and no spare and the car wouldn't start! It wasn't happening today but hopefully Ill join yous next week.Cheers.

Great Spin Cathal. Again, amazing stuff, my first time around both Kindlestown & GOTD. Both are super-stuff. I might join a few folks down there with some cutters (under strict trail owners permission & guidance of course!) to cut back all the briars, it's like I have sunburn this morning, I rubbed plenty of nettles into the cuts last night to harden-the-feck-up, drank some battery acid when I got home, feel like taking a bite out of a large rabid dog this morning.

Great spin, slippy as hell, (is hell slippy?) brilliant fun, I gotta go back soon!

the Leadmines is as bad..jesus holy jehovah..we nearly lost Alice a couple of times !!

Yep great spin again last night Cathal, nice and fast slippy on times but good good fun, the tunnel was funny, didn't know what the hell to expect when i came around that corner off the wall lol

Also - Many thanks for the Head-set re-set Gaz! That was the ticket! nothing like having someone who can feel the force on a spin.

'I feel a disturbance in the force, Harri you're head-set is loose'

- 'Is it?'

'Yes it is'

- 'Well knock me down with a feather'

with that, in under 10 seconds Gaz had the thing singing! thanks a mill the milky bars are on me!

No prob luke, it's a lovely new bike mate, nothing worse than having things loose

Cheers Cathal for a deadly spin, It was like something out of Indiana Jones or Rambo with all that rain/mud and even an underground tunnel. Also some of the funkiest smells known to mankind in that forest, somehow I dont think its just rain water in those puddles??

Theres a chunk of my leg hanging from one of those briars, probably made a tasty supper for some fox or badger or something.

Class. After nearly a fortnight off the bike I needed that badly.

A few sharp climbs, deadly single track and some unbelievably smelly puddles. What more could you want?

Thanks to John, Gary, Eoghan, Kieth and Alan for coming out on a not particulary inspiring evening. Pity you didn't make it Leeza, next week.
