Saturday Spinners,

Meeting at the Glendo car park as usual for a trek up Scarr with Colm & harri.

remeber what the President says - have enough spare everything - including jellies & tubes & tools - this one is weather dependant so keep an eye on the post - all usual sat. folk are welcome

See you there! This is going to be GREAT! ! (I promise, money back guarantee)

PS> NO EPIC JERSEYS ALLOWED ON SPIN as this is not an official trail (i'm serious)
BUMP

Remember this is not for beginners - this is a big mountain spin, some skills required. & as mentioned above don't forget your tools, spares & food! The pace wont be frantic so fitness is not a major issue!
this going ahead then lads? doesn't seem to be many in. I'll be there anyway :) are we talking the interpretive centre carpark or the hotel carpark?
I'll be there.

Don't suppose anyone who's going to this happens to have a spare small (160mm) rotor lying around their shed? Climbing up scar with a pringle shaped rotor could be a bit more exercise than I'd want at 10am on a Saturday.
don't worry all, many people don't log on & reply they just turn up - so do! just do it. . . yeah baby

PS the spins always go ahead - that's why only 'the few' can post 'em! no messers!

get a spanner and hammer to it....or take off going up and put in on going down. the decent off scar will soon have it straightened...

do you not pay attention ?
Do not turn up for spins with a mechanically unsound bike. Are we wasting our time explaining how this kind of **** can ruin a spin for everybody.
I hope to make it. Which is the usual carpark? I'll just spin around till I see some bikes if no-one replies...(I know, it's late)
it is the big one at the interpretive centre its on your left just after the turn to the Wicklow Gap and before the Hotel.
well that was deadly. great day for it. thanks to Harri and Luke. straight up and down scarr and then the ewoks via the gorse trail of pain. the ewoks took its usual toll of casualties inlcuding my sabotage on Dardoz - apologies.
cheers all
great craic that spin. Thanks a million Harri & Luke, was an education. Jesus that gorse trail made a mess of my poor little chicken legs
Well done all, that was great.
I have two tiny scratches on my arm after my fall of death into the ravine. I'll never understand how I survived that! The look on Orla and John's face freaked me out more than the fall!
So kids, if you're going to jump head first down a 8m meter ravine, bounce off the top of a waterfall and then fall down the waterfall, just act like a rag doll and you'll walk away from it!
Or maybe just drop your saddle before you attempt the Ewoks!
Thanks John for the spin, Luke for adding in the ewoks and to Jesus and the rest of the apostles for not damaging Luke as he tumbled down the gorge of death. BTW That Dardoz dude is one fearless fecker. Great day!
