    That'll be more of a daylight-to-dusk ride. I hope to make it - will let you know tomorrow.

    Hi All

    Is there many heading to the trail building???

    Geoff

     
  • At 3:50 p.m., Blogger Paddy said…

    If you can go to the trailbuilding you definitely should. The more people who help out the better the trail will be and the faster it will be ready.

    (unfortunately i've to go get drunk at a wedding so can't make it)

    Where is the spin heading on the 2nd?

     
  • At 10:10 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    Hi,
    The spin tomorrow will be heading where ever the wind takes us and who's out, probably Crone via 3rock, prince willies and cloon.

    Hi,
    Sorry guys, spin cancelled today, weather was just that little bit too bad. When you see a family of ducks floating down the road, its not likely to be weather conducive to mountainbiking!

    Hey,
    If Peter reads this, could you mail the pics of Saturdays spin to stephen_scrivenerATyahooDOTcoDOTuk, so I can put them up here.


    Thanks!

    Will there be any other supporters going? I'm going to be there (still minus a bike, but I'll cheer!) And there might be cookies!

    Directions to Kindlestown
    -------------------------------------
    Take the M11/N11 south to Kilmacanogue
    Two miles or so after Kilmacanogue you'll pass the "Eco Shop" on your left
    Take the next exit signposted "Glenview Hotel"
    Take the next right turn (do not cross the flyover bridge)
    You'll pass the Glen of the Downs golf club on your left, then take a right
    The entrance to Kindlestown car park is on your left.

    I won't be out at all this weekend - I've contracted a disease.

     
  • At 5:52 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    Hi Shane,
    For the race on Sunday, it is not neccessary to drive. If you have a bike, meet us at the Blue Light pub, this can be found by taking the road that goes behind Lamb Doyles amd following on up the hill a bit. Of course, if you are driving, you can park here too.

    Sean

    Deadly spin today lads and lassies. (Saturday 8.02.06) Kindelstown and GOTD are really great. Cheers!

     
  • At 8:01 p.m., Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Second that one, class day and great trails,switchbacks are classic, roll on more Kindelstown spins.

  • At 2:10 a.m., Blogger Nigel said…

    yea today was class lads. Cheers!

     
  • At 6:06 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    so, eh, just where exactly was everyone this morning then? this club has a big reputation to uphold and as you all know, I'm only a weak little fellow and can't be upholding it all on my own. I finished 9th in the race.
    In other news, y'all missed the finest day for a spin so far this year, myself, Karl from Sorrento, Epic's Paul and Gordon from WORC took a trip over 3rock and down the wocawocas. Here, Karl and Paul left for home, so myself and Gordon headed over Prince Willies, caught and passed the sizeable EPIC group and headed down to the road and back to Sandyford via Enniskerry. Just over 2 hours from MAD course, up over and around to Lamb's Croos, nice and fast, beautiful day for it. thanks Gordon.

    Me, my dodgy arm and sore ribs were off doing this race...

    http://www.seaotterclassic.com/

    Best course I've ever been on - 19 miles (mostly single track), 3200 feet of climbing and you ride around the Leguna Seca race track. (The one with the cork screw corner)

    I even finished :)

    http://www.seaotterclassic.com/2006/168.htm

    I'll post a report and pics soon...

    Everyone - try to be in California some time for this - the weekend was amazing! I think I saw about 8 world champions from different disciplines...

     
  • At 11:42 a.m., Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Wow Ryan! You not only finished you came fourth! Thats some achievement! Well done!!!

     
  • At 3:24 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    well done Ryan, that sounds absolutely deadly, I think a club trip to sea otter will be in order some year! the next question is.....will you be carrying that fine form into the first NPS round on April 29th?
    Sean

     
  • At 4:44 p.m., Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Well done Ryan!!

    that's pretty impressive. Sorry I wasn't out at the race at the weekend guys, I would have got lost... seriously, one of these days you'll seem me out there!

     
  • At 11:28 a.m., Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Quick question, whats the correct pressure for most mountain bike tyres? Cheers

     
  • At 1:51 p.m., Blogger Morgan said…

    For riding off road, generally 30-40psi. The maximum pressure will be printed on the side of the tyre. The minimum is when you get punctures from hitting things. Anything in between is fine and depends on your preference.

     
  • At 4:50 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    Hi.
    That sure was one fine weekend of riding.
    Saturday saw 19 (yes, 19!!) riders assemble for an easy spin up to 3 rock, taking in the clubcourse in all of its various guises and parts. Roddy wasn't having the best of days, having several spectactular falls, felling trees, breaking bikes and being awarded a 9.7 for artistic impression and a staggering 9.9 for execution on the final climb on the last steep climb of the club course!

    The Bank Holiday Monday saw 12 faces eager to work off those Easter eggs. We headed for a fast non-stop spin up and over 3rock via the aerials, mantiquila and the wocawocas before following up Prince Willies. Ryan, Marc and myself hit the carpark here then turned back to pick up the rest of the group on our way back. Mark Cosgrove and Paddy weren't far behind, but we didn't reach the rest of the group until we hit the top of Prince Willies again. Apparently Steve had forgotten about the idea of a non-stop ride and was holding everybody up! The reversal of the route meant we had to climb up the wocawocas again, at the top we met Ross McClure out with some Epic and WORC chaps. Mark Cosgrove and Ross acted like long lost brothers for a few sentimental minutes before everybody got cold and decided to move on downwards, home for a hot shower and a well earned lunch.
    Roll on Castlewellan!!!!

    Hi all

    Any takers on a repeat trip to Kindlestown this week, know people will be resting for Castlewellan on Sunday, and people are planning on going to support on the day (Myself included), so Sundays out…….. Wednesday evening or Saturday????????
    All suggestions welcome.

    Geoff

     
  • At 10:52 a.m., Blogger Ryan Sherlock said…

    Yesterdays spin was fun. Fairplay to Marc on doing all the rough sections (fast!) on his fully ridgid bike. I was laughing at the bumps on the way down with 6 inches of travel but he was never far behind! Very impressive!

     
  • At 10:59 a.m., Blogger Paddy said…

    Mondays spin was indeed great fun ... though pretty much my entire body aches at this stage so need to get rid of that before the weekend.

    Geoff ... i'd be up for a trip to kindlestown on wednesday if there was a lift going. If not i'll be heading out local for anyone whose around.

    You can get a day licence at the race - this will make you a member of Cycling Ireland. You can put the cost of this toward a full licence later on if you like.

     
  • At 7:42 p.m., Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Yes indeed Monday was good.

    Pace was good but everybody broke up within minutes. The spin was inadvertenly broken into 3 groups. Sean, Ryan and Marc at the front. Myself, Paddy and Mark not far behind and the rest 30 minutes behind (less Mark Cromie, he was in a group of his own ;))

    Being the good samartian I am, I stopped before descending the jump section of the Wocca Woccas to waitwith Mark Cromie for the few strugglig at the back.

    Our Spin leader, Sean, deserted us. This left seven of us to fend for ourselves without a spin leader. Shocking stuff altogether if you ask me. I'd watch your back Sean, might have a Roddy after you fairly soon :O

     
  • At 2:34 p.m., Blogger Mark C said…

    yeah left all on my own lost in the wilderness of the mountains, luckly our steve saved the day.......

    tom you should definitely race on sunday i'm gonna give it a bash, the bike is in the shop today gettin rid of that annoyin creakin sound, i'll be all stealthy on sunday, well apart from the puffin and wheezin normally associated with my climbin.......till then chaps

     
  • At 7:20 p.m., Blogger Mick O'Dowd said…

    Anybody feel like something closer to the Pale? After a few Kindlestown spins recently, it could be time for another Massy's or Leadmines jaunt. I can't make it (last time, I'm in the country again), but if there are any volunteers out there...

     
  • At 1:06 p.m., Blogger Sean said…

    Tom,
    Depends on whether you want the humiliaton (go for spin on Saturday) or glory (rest, but do 1 hour of easy / hard bits) in the race. Personnally, I'll be resting and carbo-loading.
