Hi All

planning a fairly serious mountain training spin for good friday. Starting at 9am Yellow House. Open to all but will be faster yellow/orange and it's very very hilly. ideal for Wicklow 200, Marmotte, Etape training?? And chocolate is encouraged at Laragh and we won't make you wait until Easter Sunday. We'll regroup at top of each mountain and nobody gets left behind.

www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/388444250 160km with around 3000m of climbing.

Route will be Sally Gap-Laragh-Shay Elliot-Sliabh Mann-Brown Mountain-Shay Elliot-Laragh-Wicklow Gap up down and up again-Laragh-Glenmacnass-Sally Gap-Featherbeds-Dublin

I would guess it would be an 8hr cycle. 9am start and 5pm finish approx

Let me know if you fancy a nice easy spin.....garconnolly@yahoo.ie

Thanks Gar for organising - that was one of those perfect days on the bike. 130km for me, which was plenty. The Marmotters did something like a million miles. Hope the rest of the spin went well and thanks for having me along :)

for those cynics like Barry O'Donnell who claimed the mountain rescue and ambulance were only out on a drill blocking up the road cause it was sunny!
