Epic Social spin ..big success as usual

Loads of bodies again.. too many too count..great craic..full body dabs , the usual messing..
Guests of honour were Gar, Corny and Colm from " that Club that don't walk down anything !!"
there were a few toxic people out today including myself and Alfie..Highlights were the best descent in the world and Gwangi..
We did XTC
Bulldog
Up Gwangi all the way to the middle car park across Robins yumps, Catskin
Up the red road
Down the best descent
Up the earls drive
down the foxglove/NPS climb
across sliddery riddery
down to the river,
Up the NPS climb,
back on to Gwangi
Up Gwangi to the junction that goes to the middle car park but this time we went across and down Ross Rosengraves gnarly descent.
Up the Fireroad
left up on to the double track
Down Toro
back down all the way on Gwangi
up to benchcut
Down benchcut and son of benchcut
back up the NPs climbs ( savage)
up XTC..
All I can say is well done to everybody who took part and for the record, you would all be well able for Saturday spins, so don't be shy.
There was a chap on an orange and white Giant, let me know who you are, I can't remember your name, sorry.
Several of you have great potential for savagery. I was impressed.
That was a tad more than Social spin standard, mainly because everybody was deadly and the trails were so dry.
A classic spin, and a fantastic spread of riders, Don is looking very fit indeed, Luke and Oz ae back together, I've never seen anybody with a Phd in Engineering have so many mechanicals..
Fair play to the ladies, especially having to put up with the nonsensical ravings and carry on of the senior members
Cheers Richie
I should also mention the sterling work that the senior riders like Skippy, jack, Alfie, Oz and Luke do keeping the whole EPIC juggernaut moving, we only had a couple of blockages which was deadly
cut across yis earlier, ****ing hell there must have been 40 at least out, fair play. What the name of that steep ****er across from benchcut with the step up at the end, deadly altogether
thats called " Gash"..that was you down the bottom of Ross Rosengraves trail !! i hope you liked the hike back up out of that yoke !!
jaysus, I can't believe there were nearly 50 people out and only 2 of us had something to say about it !!!
Well I got something to say, fan-bleeding-tasticaroonie!!! What a hoard, what trails and what weather. It was great going commando with nothing but 3 jelly snakes and a waterbottle for 3 hours. Is it just me or do dry trails just entice you to never stop, it must be having to power through gloop for most of the year that makes riding on dry trails so seductive. Had some great moments following Killian down the Best Decent, it's years since I've done it and the bottom section hasn't changed a bit, mega. Brilliant day, to have Djouce on our doorstep, how lucky are we?

Thanks to El Magnifico for an awesome tour, I have the curse of the buzzing head tonight.

Oh yes, and whoever that lad is on that woefully old GT has abilities to beat the band, and makes all us bike obsessed fools look, well, rather foolish. Well done sir!
Great spin, it was great to get out again after a month off the bike. The trails were so dry and fast, great stuff. Shame I broke something on my bike again! That's four out of the last five spins I've had to nurse the bike home. I think someone has cursed me!

That's dodgy camera work I tells ya!! I only slowed down so you could capture my awesome two finger braking technique.
Realy missed both sat spin and social spin and felt strange risking life and limb at Cahir savage DH .Instead of ****ting myself on start line i could have been in my comfort zone with you guys havin the craic.Cahir was also great craic with a great presence from EPIC heros all supporting each others brave efforts.Looks like you guys had a great weekend.
pics look great and the trails so bone dry, Sorry I missed it, But I had to see the motorbike trials up north, Samesamebutdifferent kint of offroad. Gone all cold turkey this week now without my mtb.
Great craic as always with EPIC folk....big shout out to the guy on the TREK antique and the girl in the blue top, droppin everyone on the climbs...

As for Luke with his chain antics...somebody show him how to route it properly!
