Df touted this idea a few weeks back inspired by the current mile high spin and myself and rudolf are giving it a go Sunday morning leaving at 6am
Ballypierce
Nine stones
Up to the mast
Down by the turf cutters to ballycrystsl
Around by road to scullogue gap
Up the heinous climb and all the way up to the mast
Down road from mast hard right after 300m down to nine stones Rd
down to lcp by road turn right and over to mullaun foleys folly
Up to the mast via turf cutters
Down to the heinous climb all the way Down home by road via kiltealy

We reckon somewhere on the 7h+ mark but impossible to tell for sure
Not sure on the amount of climbing probably can call it the 2mile high
Give me a shout if your interested in giving some or all of it a go

Where's DF when you need him? There's a fine spin in there somewhere. I'll see you for that bit.

Don't be foolish man, what if we don't attempt it again you will have missed it, we will see you at six

We'll see. I have some issues with the route.

I'm giving this a miss due to impaired motivation and the fact that I'm probably not able for it. Good luck lads, it's some undertaking. No two better boys for the job.

I can see Furlong now.. sat in the bar laughing like an evil genius in pure disbelieve that two suckaz took his bate... and then even attempt this in such heat. Best of luck lads, fair play if ye manage it

Great spin today gutted our spin was cut short when I broke 2 spokes going up the last climb leaving me no option but turn around and nurse it home. This spin is definitely do able I reckon 8hours nevertheless we enjoyed 2 good climbs and 2 great descents. Thanks to runoff for the company

A valiant effort, well done to the lunatic fringe.

Great spin . Nice few hours cycling on and around the mountain. Cheers Barry

That was fate lads. That spin can't be done without me.
