Lookin' forward to this 
Unlike some bastids, who shall remain nameless but live in the PRC & ride 1100's with rear pizza boxes
, I've only managed one days 'proper' bikin' over the hols 
(I've been out with the kids on their bike & the Serow but that's just me being a good Dad 
) so I'm dying to get out for a decent run.
I'm planning on meeting Daithi & ShortArse in Mother Hubbards between nine & quarter past if anyone wants to join us for a New Years Brekkie & a wee natter

So thats between 10 and 11:30 in Mother Hubbards?
Cool see you there!Can't wait for this. Just one quick question - if Im only using the map (no GPS) - how do I prove Ive been to a point? Probably irrelavent anyway as I will be sticking with "himself".

I think we'll be handed a sheet with the 'questions' & we'll fill in the answers as get to the points. So if each of ya did half the points & then shared your answers you'd both get a perfect score
But then that's not very sporting, is it Me, I'm just out for the spin & the craic

using map only too Orla, not sure but i think you need to answear a question to prove you where there,
so if one knew the area well you could cheat

If you're staying with himself you'll be fine but having both the maps and the GPS
will be betterand a lot easier than only one or the other.
Egsaklee.
I think we'll be handed a sheet with the 'questions' & we'll fill in the answers as get to the points.
The ideal arrangement is to go out in pairs, ie: one could open a gate and the
other can close it, or one could write down the answers while the other is routing
to the next check point, saves time.
UPDATED GARMIN WAYPOINT FILE
Sorry for the delay in getting this posted but it's slow copying and pasting.
Attached is the up-to-date GPS Waypoint file for tomorrow.
The ROAD checkpoints are RED flags and OFF-ROAD checkpoints are GREEN flags.
If you get an oppurtunity to load this file yourself all the better, it'll save time tomorrow.
With the weather being a tad damp it's unlikely anyone will get them all done, enjoying
it safely is probably the most important thing.
Really looking forward to this.
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TOSSERS !

I'm not
Firstly, I'll be concentrating on staying nicotin free and secondly, I'm not doing any of the off-road ones for which points will presumably be higher, thereby handing an immediate advantage to the Langer Brothers & those suntanned people from North Kildare Besides, I'll feel like a winner just getting a day out on the bike GerryC said:Sorry about that but I've had enough of the peace and love stuff for now and needed to unburden myself
That's alright, feel free to abuse me, I'm well used to it
And by tomorrow lunchtime I'll probably be that grumpy I'll get me own back anyway Right, I'm off to fiddle with me Quest. If I don't fcuk it up altogether I should find Cashel before lunch

NUD1E - Nice one ... the draw was held
Just got hame and saw your posting, , the lads came in and we had a draw and you are the winner of a Bottle of wine also winners was Declan roach on a Bandit 1200 .... Jockser of a bottle of Black bush ( he might have to share it with padge ) and the overwall winner was John D from the Marble City, who returned his bottle - it ended with Jockser and he has nominated his charity that helped his daughter who sadly passed away, only 2 short years ago
Thanks from McIvor - big liam - the grumpy one - daithi and myself for the support today we had about 32 bikes on the ground ...... well not on the ground if you catch my drift
pictures and Scores to follow

Many thanks to all involved in the organisation of a great new years day outing and a great start to the 2008 biking season.
The amount of money raised for nomination to the charity of my choice was €407.70. Thanks must go to everyone present who donated this generous amount.
The charity I nominate and will donate the money to, is the Irish C.F Association
Cheers everyone
John D
