deadly spin last night lads-I knew it was a good idea putting Ryan in front - he led us on a very merry route all round the forest including Daggets which is in really good condition for this time of year, and the 'no-dabs' section, again, in great nick, and pretty mad in places, the new DH section we rode is really good too - great company and weather and route = great night out!
I reckon the Cromie lad is now hooked on the night rides, Stevies lamps shone the way to a new dimension in biking for him!
I might even do it again Friday night if this great weather holds..any takers?
Note;
Some lads from last night are gonna be reported to the MTB cop-out commission for skipping track sections and not staying on their bikes when there's a steep bank section ... ye are being watched!
At 10:53 a.m.,
Ryan Sherlock said…
Yeah - great spin. Noel set some pace at the start!
I was taking names of the people who didn't do the drop... "Emmmm, my lights don't offer enough contrast..." I know who you are!
I would have been on for Friday night but I have to go home to Monaghan this evening...

It was a good spin alright, although I never really got into the flow. All the time off the bike is starting to show. I like that new DH track too - looking forward to trying it in daylight.

Tom calls it "temporary absence of Mojo" Morgan, the "Mojo" always returns after a few spins :-)
At 1:07 p.m.,
Ryan Sherlock said…
Yeah - and if the mojo is not returning put on gripper tires. That seems to work too!

bugger i've been sussed, but the lights really didn't give good contrast.....i blame it on the dark, i'm scared of it, long time deep rooted psychological fear of it, Tom i need help....that was a deadly spin think santa is gettin a revised chrimbo list....must get more woolie socks though, only got back the feelin in my right toes at home after a full blat of the cars melters round the M50

At 4:06 p.m.,
Fergal said…
yeah, that lad isn't afraid of much, I might give that a drop a go when Stevie lands me his new bike for a spin - eh Steve? eh?
At 12:19 p.m.,

didn't think psyche-students had access to that type of hardware Tom, then again, if it's on the syllabus, and you need to practice on someone, there's a few EPIC boys that could do with a few jolts of the sparky stuff, I'll send em your way...
