Jeebus - will I need a passport?
I'm impressed, Saturdays go savage!! That's a mega spin, do it and you be a legend for all time, bring tonnes of jellies!
Hi Guys My name is Henry and i would love to give this spin a go if thats ok i live near Kindlestown and could make the 10 am start on saturday.

Thanks Henry
Hi Henry
Yes of course you're welcome along. Be warned though this is a long long spin and while the pace wont be hectic it'll have to be fast and steady. There will be suffering in the last hour or two. Hypoglycemia. You'll need to be prepared for mechanicals and bring some bars or whatever.
Everyone else take notice too please!
thanks

Thanks John for you time!! Deadly spin. The weather turned out great..

Nice way to start the weekend.. now time for pints!!:)

Mario
Breaking the mech hanger was bad enough after the long climb, but when Rory stood on my banana - well there was no going on from there !!

Made it back to Kindlestown as a fixie OK but was really p****d off to miss the rest of the spin.

Thanks a million John - I hope you'll do another one of these soon.
thanks john that was great looking forward to the next spin, with less punctures..
That was brilliant John, thanks again.
I feel like I've really earned the big mac meal and cans of Tyskie I'm about to shovel into myself too.
well done everyone a grand day out. a bit spoiled with punctures(9?) and mechanicals but the weather came good and we all got home ok. we'll do this spin again in a couple of weeks. First all i need is a new rear wheel drivetrain bottom bracket gear cables brake pads shoes and tyre. There wasn't much left of my bike when we got back!
thanks all for a great spin
