Thanks to Niall and Liam for giving me my first taste of cycling up to the 9 stones this morning, great to have it under my belt! Not to keen on the old detour, funny how them road signs are always right, lol.

ye, great spin Dina, liam would make a crap tour guide. just a note of caution to anyone taking a spin over the nine stones from the bunclody side, the cattle grid on the kiltealy side as you descend is missing two bars and its lethal if you hit it at any speed, the road warning comes way too late.
ps. we'll do the Carrabui gap (yes its spelled wrong) in the next few weeks then your ready for any challange

I will haul ass up that mountain if you can airlift me down, getting up to 52km/ph on the flat road was scary enough, i had a cramp in my hands from pulling the brakes for the entire time. Too scary
