A Grand Day Out

Thanks to Jockser for organising a great run out. The weather played ball which was a big help.

Special mention must go to Daithi who rode up from Cork, had the spin through the Cooley Mountains and Slieve Gullion and was heading straight back down to Cork. He will have covered about 450 miles today just for the craic.

15 or 16 bikes is a pretty good turnout at the end of December and I hope you all had a good day, enjoyed the craic and had a safe run home.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Happy New Year ya Tossers.

Cheers to Jockser and Aidan for organising the run..
I'm guessing some of you are still on the road...

Someone call Daithi's missus and ask her to put his Pyjamas in the oven.. It's a long cold journey to the Peoples Republic of Cork..

Happy New Year.

It's taken me a while to work up the gumption to admit it, but Jockser wins ,
BRILLIANT days riding, and I thought Cork and Kerry were the only two counties with that kind of scenery.
Thank you Jockser and Aidan for arranging this and everyone else for making it so enjoyable.
The Cooley Mountains and Slieve Gullion were stunning, as was our little detour off-road. See Pic. Thanks Aidan
Met a lot of ye for the first time and it was great to see the faces and go for the spin with ye.

Special mention must go to Daithi who rode up from Cork, had the spin through the Cooley Mountains and Slieve Gullion and was heading straight back down to Cork. He will have covered about 450 miles today just for the craic.

Happy New Year ya Tossers.

It was 510 Miles Aidan, well worth it for the craic though.

Happy new year lads, mind yerselves, keep safe and
see ye all in the new year. Daithi

Paul, Shinobi, Padge and The Celt

Nice to meet you all again and those for the first time, dam you gotta love that off roadin!!!!!!! and cheers to jockster and Aidian for the run and mandy for the t Happy halloween and a new year

 

[Jockser]

Firstly, apologies for the tardy response from me but I had dial-up problems last nite & then we were at the Ulster / Leinster match most of the day. The less said about the 20 / 12 result the better, wouldn't want to upset our brethren oop north And notice how the drubbing we got from Munster the other day is nicely glossed over

Anyway, back to bikin' matters Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday, youse all made it a great day. Mind you, the weather didn't hurt either I was very surprised our two biking days were each followed by such sh!tty days - usually it's the other way around And it was great to see some people out who hadn't been on a run with us before.

Special thanks must go to Aidan for the afternoon run and also to Daithi for his commitment to the cause

It's taken me a while to work up the gumption to admit it, but Jockser wins

I don't think so Two very different runs & I, for one, really enjoyed both of them. But we could always try again next year


As Aidan said 15 bikes / 16 peeps wasn't a bad turn out for the time of year. Hopefully we'll have a few more like it in '07. I know I'll see some of youse in the not too distant future ( heaven help me ) but the next biggie is Aidans 'Run to the Hills' - see ya there.

In the meantime - HAPPY NEW YEAR to all & fer fecks sake Ride Safe

Hi Dave
It was a pity you missed them, but it looks like Joe is organizing something. Hope to see you on the next one.

As most of you will know Jockser and Sugarcube are away to Lisbon to see the start of the Dakar. Pair of feckers.

Before he went Jockser asked me to post his pics of last Saturdays run.
