The people have spoken! Sugarloaf this Sunday

It was a close-fought contest but the final result was in favour of Kindlestown and the Sugarloaf this Sunday. I expect to see 15 happy riders (and maybe 8 disgruntled Djouce fanciers) in the Kindlestown car park at 10am. The Sugarloaf could be considered proper mountain - so be prepared. Bring warm clothes and rain gear even if it's sunny in the morning. Bring plenty of food too.



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.

    Mel and I will be heading out to Slade Valley sometime on Saturday for a few laps of the Mad course and the IMBRC course. We were thinking of heading out there for 12ish (some time to sleep in :)) if anyone is interested in meeting us.

    HI Ryan,
    Undecided whether I'll do beginners spin or Slade, if I'm doing Slade I'll likely be there just before 12 doing a few laps of the Dash course and sections of the new course (the overall NPS race course hasn't been finalised but we can do most of the sections)
    my num is 087-792-7730 if I'm not at the car park when ye arrive....

    damn all this secret (well, not so secret) training of yours fergal. Thats not the MAD way ... the MAD way involves hangovers and a severe lack of sleep!

    Tom,
    I really like the way you think - ALL those ideas are great, especially the bunk-off work and ride day.
    MAD Lash? Brilliant.
    Reckon Paddy would easily do me in that competition (all the training he's being doing, especially his overseas intensive stint)...that brings us to the deliverance spin; I'll start learning banjo right away.
    Wales would be great to laugh at the funny accents, and pronounce placenames when scuttered.

    PS: Shane-I have no idea what your last post meant-was that English or Tallafornian?
