Jaysus that was a mighty spin! Only my forced conversion to single speed and some of the tubeLESS brigade having to stick in some tubes by way of mechanicals, Lovely scenery great company, couldn't be better. Pointing the bike out across the open Heather savage stuff, what mountain bikes were made for, not for as Brian put it pedaling around in circles. Do we dare dream that next Sunday might be fine also !

I was waiting for Furlong to roll up on a 29er..
Great spin! I'll sleep tonight..

Great spin, Nice and dry in most places still some wet spots on the heather to keep you on your toes. Briljant route through the mountains. Nearly time for my second dinner.

[DavidF]

yes indeed, barry is right, that's what the bikes are made for. the only bad thing about the day was that nobody found my joke funny...



here's some pics:

Wow, what can one say! Great Joke David As for the spin, oohh Jaysus!! Heinous Hill, and here I thought I was a hardened Triathlete, just a puppy dog I'm afraid. As for the beautiful photograph of the heather field, no one metiond it's hidden treasures and 'Gravel Road' you call it, what about 'path of pain' and then once wasn't enough but ye had to visit it again, going down this time . And then just when you think it's all over and we get back onto civilised roads, a race takes place back to the carpark. Lunatics, the lot of ye. So when's the next one PS: Sorry for the mechanical delay and thanks for all the tips guys, especially the climbing tip Rudolf, I would have been doing 'Wheelies' up Heinous Hill otherwise. That would have been interesting
