Hello Campers...
10.00 at the Glenmalure lodge for
The Croaghnamoira and the Funky Chicken Ridge..and maybe something extra..
Anybody who was out yesterday or was supposed to be out yesterday are more than welcome.
for those of you who haven't done this one..its not as exteme as Scarr or Camaderry but it does have its moments !! plus you can get a Ham sandwich afterwards !
ah yeah..that was deadly, hard, grim at times, funny, grim at some more times, November, July, November,great turnout, fabulous bodies, full body dabs,over the bars..
mega calf workout !!
Video to follow..on the slowest ,scariest descent ever !! great craic though from the guys who brought you the last deadly EPIC spin..
fair play lads..
I don't think it would have been to everybodies taste, the climbs were savage but as Eamo says , you get back every tortured foot of a climb with a foot of deadly descending..
But Alfie gets whammy of the year for the one he got Eamo, i haven't seen a funnier one in years!!
Tuff old climb alright,but worth it, The craic as always was the best part. Alfie's wammy on Eamo was brilliant you couldn't pay to see something that funny and Eamo's line slash zigzag line down the grassy/rocky decent classic. Had a few body dabs myself sure not trying hard enough if you dont fall off. Great bunch off lads out today ohh the craic!!! Bon Voyage Eamo its been a pleasure!!!!
it was windy, cold and feckin raining..and the place looked like it had never dried out!! but it was feckin class..
you were up Scarr last week !!! you should have put the Misogynist Jackboots on and told the Little woman that you were heading out with the lads up Croaghnamoira and no feckin metrosexual middle class numpty guilt was going to stop you !!
Lets face it Don..she didn't marry you because she heard you were a pagan sex God like Eamo or Alfie..she married you because you were a good earner and respected her feelings..but they don't really want that, she was convinced of that by hello magazine and womans own ..
what they really want is us to be drunken playboy MTB photographers like Victor or crazy knife weilding maniacs like me, who will keep them safe and warm in the dark !!
hahhhaaaaahhaaaa
here you go kiddies, not my best effort due to the fact that the weather was crap, i was experimenting with my helmet and a load of other excuses.. http://www.vimeo.com/6131427
the thing is..you had to be there..the schlomp..Victors punctures Smithers and Luke formation full body dabs, The walkers after the ridge !! classic !!
Rain! Schlomp! Wind! There was none of that in Djouce this morning, trails were lovely and dry, discovered Alans Trail for the first time as well, deadly!!!
Good video again, pity you only sort of got the whammy, though in fairness you couldn't be expected to keep the filming going when laughing that much. Funniest thing on a spin in ages and the finest whammy since some crazy guy shoved Darth Vader off a cliff one Christmas.
