The P. R. of Cork Annual Ride-out.

[Daithi]

Sorry for not responding sooner, the interweb was down all morning.

Is it not the Shell??
And 10 bells?

Yeah Paul we are leaving at 10:00 but the Garage is a Statoil not a Shell (my mistake)

late notice Daithi sorry, but can you stick me down for the hotel as well, Padge are you still going down on sat morning?

No problem Dave, booked you first thing this morning.

Grand.. I don't have yours so can you PM or text me.

From My search with the Co-ordinates form Daithi, it is on the N22 just outside cork City (South West side).
From Dublin side, take South Ring, get off at Sarsfield Road Roundabout (Next roundabout After Airport and Kearys BMW) and head towards City.
At end of road take Left and petrol station is there (the road runs aside the River Lee).

Daithi will probably be along shortly to tell me I'm talking thru me ar$e.

Hi Paul, those directions will bring you to the start of the "Straight Road" so
yer not talking through your ar$e. As the Grumpiest One is our expert you
can take his coordinates to be correct, but either will bring you to the start
of the Carrigrohane Straight. Just follow the sound of the tossers waffeling.

Anyone else coming who hasn't posted ?
Weather forecast looks very good.

 

[Padge]

It's a straight road with only one Petrol station on it, but then if you are not left out that often I suppose even you could get lost on it.

Right, I think we need clarification then.
Mapsource shows 3 stations on the road. 2 Statoil with one Shell in the middle.
Daithi's Co-ord's exactly pinpoint the Shell station.

 

[Jockser]

Drive along the 'straight road' until you come to a petrol station on your left with a load of GSs outside

 

[willsuds]

Tomorrow

Guess I'll have to leave wicklow even earlier than 7.00 if there is a 10:00 am start ...

plus i'll have panniers (hopefully I can store them somewhere !!)

see ya's tomorrow

 

[Aidan1150]

Just getting packed here and should be on the road by 2-30pm or shortly after. Yee-haa.

 

[Dakar Gal]

Have a good weekend all. Sorry cant make it.
Have loads of fun (well not too much ) and take plenty of photies.

And come back safe!!!

Hi Paul, sorry for the confusion, as I said, it's my fault. The meeting point is the Statoil Petrol Station : (IW 64785 71317) which is west of the Shell garage.
Any of the other Seven would do.

Uncharacteristically non-pi$$ taking answer there Jockser, I applaud your self-restraint.

The early start will be well worth it.
You can throw your panniers into my van at the "STATOIL" station.

See ya then.

As soon as you make something idiot proof, you get a bigger friggen idiot.

SWMBO just getting to grips with me back on bike and taking the occasional spin( did Cork-Glandore-Kinsale-Carrigaline last week) so it'll be a while before I can ride away for a few days, plus panniers not yet fitted. I'll be looking forward to this sort of lark next year.

I believe you were spotted by a member of our group, a good humoured man
on a TTR, you should have tagged along for the spin, great weekend.

 

[Daithi]

Great to read back over this spin.
