I was in the front and saw nothing, those that had the "moments" should tell their own stories...
Some of the scenery;
Some of the people;
Sometimes there were roads (of a sort);
Sometimes there weren't;
and our esteemed leader;

You'll have to come next year as I want to see the videos....
Richie thank you for taking the time and effort to arrange the weekend. Chris you did a great job also. It was brilliant and although it was your third it was our first and we look forward to the next one.
And yes there were stories and stats which I contributed to, but there were extenuating circumstances ........ a distraction you know of pedestrians and a dog ......... thought I needed to get away from them and tried to go over the ditch
Thanks to all who helped put me back on the road
Then of course I went off route by going straight on and missing a right tight bend. Only when I saw the gravel track which went vertically downhill did I realise that maybe we weren't supposed to go that way but I was committed (speed
) and so although I got stopped I had to lay it down .... needed a rest you know. Again my heroes to the rescue. They helped get the bike upright and it took 4 of us to push it up the hill. That bike is a heavy bugger
Only my pride hurt but really I loved the day the boreens, tracks and roads were briliant. It's what I have the bikefor.
There was great crack and lots of new and old friends. Unfortunately the food was excellent so the diet begins again!!
Roll on next year.

Ploughing competition
On exiting a tight LH bend at the top of a steep yump, I noticed that the surface of the Boreen was unusually attractive. Not is a sick sexual sort of way but in a geotechnical aspect.
So I had a closer look and decided to sort out the drainage problem for the locals at the side of the track while I was at it.
Thanks Tom for your recollection of my dismount, it made me feel so much better that I did it with grace
Big thank you to those that steadied the steed, while I ploughed out of the shuck.
Great to meet up with a fine bunch of people, and the Guinness, was superb in the Lighthouse. The music was equally fantastic.
Richie, thank you for your hospitability it was and is greatly appreciated.
As for the feckin rain, I reckon that Mark and I are rain Gods as the cloud followed us up North and the rain didn't break for the full time.
For those of you that had a dry day, I think you owe us a pint, because we were obviously the diversion
To sum it up, it was a crackin weekend and I would do it all again tomorrow. Well except for the ploughing
Please let there be a next one!!

Thanks Richie for showing us some of the most enjoyable roads (and sometimes not) in west Cork and Kerry.
The one handed guitar player in the Lighthouse was pretty amazing too,so much for letting a disability stop you doing what you love and being dam good at it.
My first "RICHIE WEST CORK" trip but not my last please......................
