Spin this Sat with Stevo as tour guide a spin not to be missed, with some nice new trails and lovely scenery to Storeys hill, Clara Vale and back over to Boots and the side of Trooperstown hill.
Meeting Trooperstown wood car park departing at 9-30am
The carpark is on the left before your come to Laragh, it's down past the mountain rescue base beside the river. https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Tro....2747997?hl=en
Sounds like a great route Terry thanks, lots of new trails there that I've never been on. I was gonna post up a long 4 hr spin on sat morning but this sounds great, how long do you think this will be time /distance?

The thanks goes to Stevo the man with the plan ,
time distance no idea sure you can always do another hour or two afterwards to keep the training up for BC

Handy pace, probably about 25/30 km's and back around lunchtime. I'm a bit broken, so as I say the pace will be relaxed. All welcome, somewhere new is always fun, there's even a trail called "piddly poo" that's named after the contents of my baby's nappy, how could this be anything but a deadly spin!!!
Well! that was flipping amazing! Buzzin' here in my seat as I write - what a day out, what a group! unreal
Amazing trails, dusty, dry, skids, sweat - the trails of mystery, the gorse of hate, and the Rock of 'oh crap I'm going to die'
thanks so much what a great bunch!
pity that 'the' John Doris was holding me up all the time - he's a good addition to the Saturdays we should keep him! That McGarvey's no slouch either! Robert and Nick are a great addition too! Great to be walloping down the trails elbow to elbow with Ben! what a great day - pity work stuff got in the way and I had to bail - I could have stayed out all day! it was amazing!
Cheers Steve - you'll have to show us 'round there again - loved it!
It sure was amazing - loved those trails !! Thanks Steve - was brilliant - and as for that rock - just have to keep repeating to myself - it's all in my head....
I'm a bit gutted not being able to race in Ballyhoura this weekend but that spin cheered me up so much, thanks everyone for coming along! I really enjoyed showing off those trails, its a class spot, the weather was perfect and the scenery is a sight to behold, I just love all the ferns in the forest in Clara Vale. We had kids in the middle of their junior cert, a retired bearded man and everyone in between, what a range of people! Delighed you enjoyed "piddly poo" Ben, there was a real blend of fun and funky trails, something for everyone to enjoy. Cheers for the fun and skids everyone!!
Thanks Steve - that was fantastic - lots of lovely trails. What a really lovely area. Great crew out and perfect weather as well! Would love to do that again some time - except next time could you skip the gorse bit - or trim it back a bit before the spin! My arms and legs are cut to bits! Thanks - loved it.
What a spin on dry dusty trails fridays rain missed east wicklow
all I can remember is flowing down trails after trail after trail thinking more please what furze bit? Must have been widened by the bigger people in front of me
A big thanks to Steve for all the thought and work that went into planning loop
All I am thinking now is how soon can I get back to repeat

Great day on the bike exploring new territory with a great crew and a superb spin master, thanks everyone for the fun and to Steve for leading us on such a fab loop, beautiful scenery and fresh singletrack everywhere, what more would you want! Cant wait to get back and do that all again, thanks folks!
Harri, you're dead right, I hate it when John D slows us up on spins, something has to be done!! we'll have to organise some extra training for you John :-))
Robert, Ben and I did a sneaky extra loop up over paddock hill and down some great trails back to Glendo for some well deserved cake & coffee at the cafe on the triangle in Laragh, thanks lads, my shout next time!
