Well that was an interesting spin. Broke my chain at the very start heading up to Ticknock, got it fixed pretty quickly so killed myself trying to catch up to the group, started passing people going up by Toms cabin, caught Smithers near top of the Wicklow way and was still feeling strong so kept going and caught and went past John Doris and Ger above satellite run and kept flooring it trying to close the gap to the rest of the group but they'd taken a different route as I discovered when I arrived back at the carpark to find only Dman who had called it quits early due to a puncture! Great spin all the same, I'm feckin starving now though!!
Well that was interesting, I was Fooked from the get go, I really struggled but only myself to blame after a weekend of Booze!!! Anyhow the Byrner train was flying and lost sight of them heading over WW. Came across Doris and Ger and we stayed together for the rest of the Spin. Back to the car park for 8pm. Now there was a few gaps here and there when i looked back which is fine, I just dont want people wandering around the mountain on there own. Llandai you should have waited when you lost sight of the lads but at least you stuck to the route so only a light kick in the nads for you, in fairness you were goin deadly though. Good crew out again and how dry was it up there... feckin deadly.
Cheers all!!
I felt like I was on quicksand the whole time. Bloody knackered but good spin all the same. I did my usual getting lost trick but bumped into a couple of different groups. Nice one smithers.
yes..it certainly was..me, Andrew, Damo and Ger with Jack trailing split from the bunch early on..we kept to the usual loop and went across the bottom of Fairy same as last week but at the bottom of Sattellite we turned left the right in to the forest and down the singletrack all the way to where the fallen tree is and then left on to the singletrack used in the NPS..pile of cack..it was nearly unrideable..
then we turned left up toward rnr , then left to 3 rock and back down t connector..I waited at Rnr while Damo went off with the lads..then everybody appeared from everywhere and away we went..got as far as Aggro and my gears were all over the place , I ended up scooting down the boneshaker with Dave then.
Great spin but some of it is a pile of crap..not enjoyable at all. Compared to Djouce this morning , it was brutal, I had a great spin with Damo as we were going non stop but if the schlomp continues to over run 3 rock, i think you'll have to alter the loop..and it was pretty hard going up the WW and across the front of Fairy castle with the wind.
still a huge amount of trail covered in 90 minutes..
By the way if you are on this spin and get seperated..wait for whoevers behind you..
its going to split up naturally , keep an eye on who you are with,don't charge along on your own.
