Will confirm closer to Sunday.

Cheers,

The Dam is the only ride I know so yes I'm in for sure.
I have now stopped being a fence sitter and officially joined the mighty site.
Look for the crap jamis bike and you will find me! Need to upgrade....This is one hell of a sport!!!!

Sure I'm new to the sport and not up to speed with the jargon but will someone please explain what the #uck Andrew said!!

its much like and out and back.....which is different to a loop...

Ride up the Oaks and Back down the way you came......so in short he's thinking of hurting or punishing himself for some reason Eye-wink

ride down and meet you guys there as I have to work all weekend - I was thinking (depending on how big tonight is!) that I could ride down, do Bantry Bay, stop at Eurofest and go straight home from there...I am supposed to be at work at 11 in DY...however, I have no idea how long it will take for me to ride down to the dam as I haven't done that before...
Either way i WILL be at the ride... Smiling
Whippet...I think what Andew was saying was if he has a big night tonight at the Oaks then he will come to the dam, but if he feels ok he will do the silly ride with Ev and Bruce who are simply mad!!!

MEEE Smiling

the upside to working all weekend is i get access to the site!

... for the ride ladies and gents. Was good to check out those new bits of track as well.

OT How was Eurofest?

Good ride folks and nicely topped off with a Grolsch and Bratwurst. On the way back, past the pipe, Bruno was lucky to make it after coming face to face with a BIG brown snake that reared up to eyeball him. It did not back off - so we did!!. Have to watch out for them pesky snakes sunbathing on the track.

I scared the crap out of myself yesterday while coming back down the Oaks trail, I saw a black snack at the last minute, straight in front of my wheel, I had no option but to run over it with both wheels & with my feet up near the handle bars. Every stick on the track looked like a snake for the rest of the ride. I hope the poor snake survived!
