I am road scum!

Commuted on the HT this morning, 15km, 50psi and lycra, jeebus I flew in the big ring all the way. I know some people don't believe in rolling resistance but those Racing Ralphs just fly along. Not used to road riding so the cars/trucks on the N11 freak me out but what a great way to start the day!

Nice one Don....you'll have to turn off the N11 and go through the Glen and over Bray Head next time...will take you a little longer to get to work though.
I commuted today too Don...
what a way to wake you up. Some bang off me in the shop though...
Listen here, Mr. pimp ass yellow pinarello.....
we'll have none of your smarmy comments here....
Cheers for the crank earlier, saved me a few bob, nice shop and best of luck with it....a nice route from Kilmacanogue if yez are both out that direction, you probably know it but it's a nice cycle, up the lane near the avery/pet shop that brings you backwards by the little sugar loaf, follow that around to the top of Windgates, cross the road and take the trail up to the top overlooking the sea, you'll have to throw the bike over two gates on the way up, off up the cross on Bray head and take the left trail down to the roundabout at the Bray/Greystones end of the Southern cross...much nicer than the N11, no muck on this cycle either, mostly road and clean walkers trails....would take me about an hour or so, so probably 40 mins for yous....I'd recommend it to anybody cycling to work while the days are long enough.
