That was a good fun spin, cheers to Karl for taking us down that trail to the right of the best decent, brilliant little trail and then straight on to GC were i had my little fall, arm is very sore now, big egg shaped lump on it, could have been worse i could have ended up in the feckin stream (and i wasn't that far off), good craic.
Cheers Harri
See yas all thursday.

Feckin Deadly. Dodged a bullit near the end there cant believe I'm not hurt. Knee pads paid for them selves tonight.
Gary you were lucky on GC man. One egg shaped bruise is not bad for the distance you put between you and the bike.
Someone put a name on that magic trail I was referring to as " Better than the Best Decent" please. Best bit of singletrack I've been on in ages.
Fair play lads great spin.

That was class spin all the usual craic heads enjoying nice steady pace up and down.I deffo need some new lights as im being shadowed by white light and using my memory to get down most bits.Bren entertained with his uphill crash up ramp and gaz overcooked on gc and nearly got sweped down to powerscourt.Great moral within group we could go anywhere .Thanks for puttin this on Harri and be extra carefull next few spins before your big day.
just call it Disco Stu..he built it !! but thats what the best descent looked like before it got ridden to death and turned to schlompsville!!
Excellent spin lads, I really enjoyed it. Good bunch of people and the pace was just right. Bren never stopped talking; that’s the barometer of how good a spin is! (Thanks for the expert advice Bren.) Disco Stu down to GC is the business. I believe I may have got the two wheels off the ground at the same time on GC.
Good luck on the big day Harri; I hope you only get the two 'rings'!

Great spin alright, with 2 of the party cheating death again. I saw Gary's fall from a distance! but Bren gave us a master class in - 'OH SH!T, HE'S DEAD!' - that was some roll down the side of that off-ramp. All that was going through my head was - how in the hell are we going to get him out of here?
That spin was a good pace - certainly quicker than some spins of late, I think with the smaller group the pace seems to increase.
Fair play to Andy KC - he was using trees & rocks to straighten the bike up while pinning around corners. He's had a bravery 101 module installed! His bike wont thank him for it. . .
Great fun spin. . . some mad speed descending! well done all!

deadly spin. Disco Stu's best alternative followed by GC is excellent. makes the climb up the red road worth it. excellent craic.
and thanks for giving us a hand with the van puncture Harri - I'd still be there trying to get the feckin wheel back on.

Well you'd have been broken to a million pieces :-)
Thanks for the spin guys, first proper night ride I've finished. It's surprising how much faster you go when you can't properly see what's ahead of you.
Harri, strategic use of tree's is the key to avoid brake pad wear. I'm surprised you haven't copped on to such an essential money saving tip yet :P
