Roll call , Power ,Pilot ,Dan,Doc L ,The cyclist formerly known as Seamus ,Sky ( or whats left of him) COC ,PS and Herself.
Castle bog sounded too easy and the recent dearth of clear rounds on the switchbacks forced us to try yet again . It was a sad effort with not even a “nearly”. Seamus had trouble just walking up it! . Out on the trails ( said in whispers) about to turn left onto the black run when we noticed a lack of Seamus . Sky volunteered to return along the trails and administered first aid to a puncture. The rest of us followed the black to the Ulster way where we came upon a band of 6.1ers looking lost and leaderless with BG apparently recovering from a spill. We rounded them up and pointed them in the whyte direction but they did look a sorry bunch , Mark was doing his best as acting leader assisted by the moustachioed Dr Kitchener and I’m sure they found the way home alright. Up the track to castle bog , over the top and home by trails . Cormac and the Pilot held back to do “Panti” I was afraid to ask if that was a route or something worse .
Best Excuses today
Sky ,” I’ve lost so much weight the front wheel wont stay down .”
Tim , the old favourite ..”too much air in tyre” .
Seamus …no excuse
Alex ..wrong oil in forks
Cormac , handle bars 3mm too narrow
Next Saturday is walk to Carlingford for those interested , 13th is CCAR race , 20th is looking like Santa Saturday .
