It won't be at a savage fast pace but it will be nonstop and I've no problem with people doing some of it if they want to and then heading home or meeting us on the way.
Richie
I'll be there but I'm doing a photo shoot in town at 14.00 so might need to head home early
you mean Brendan !!..great spin..
58kms for me and 5800 Calories according to Garmin !! some craic for a creasing session ! I was fooked going up Maulin..with the cramping legs..that 3 hours on the roadbike yesterday did me no favours I can tell you !!..great bunch of people..
We had to abandon the Culchie early on..
Lads, ladies, etc..if you are not riding your bike Tuesdays and thursdays then theres no kidding yourselves about you eligibility for these spins..you're not..sorry but thats the way it is !
Yeh Brendan, pedaling that monster all the way round.

6000 calories...jaysus!
That was hard, good day for a long spin. 5800 Calories Richie ? mine said 2,800. I wonder how Garmin calculate this? Thanks lads.
Fecking deadly spin. the route up Maulin is something else. it never get easier.

My legs are stiff now, I can't wait for the start of the spin tomorrow..!
OMG Im boll ixed
that crash really knocked the wind out of me, Brendan said i sounded like i was calving, i felt like it. the leg is sore but Ill be back.
my hand came off the grip and wham into the rocks. same hand i hit that feckin tree with,
Those carbon bars are so strong as my stem is buckled but the bars are fine.
anyone got a nice ritchy stem for sale?
great spin but not looking forward to the rock as it's longer.
cheers lads zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The descent off Maulin all the way to the bridge is deadly, well worth the climb off death for it

Get yourself a Thomson stem, far better than anyhting else
There is nothing as technical as anything we do here in the rock Terry, you will be fine!!!
That was a good short spin for me with some trail exploration a.k.a trespassing included. That fireroad does not go anywhere except some private lands!
I had to jump stone walls and crawl through bushes while avoiding bullets and hunting dogs, reminded me of my journey to Ireland...
can you tell how many calories you burned if you're not using your HR monitor? what is the calculation based on then?
