In which Doc Lewis cleans a post , Kenny goes arse over tit and we get back to our roots .

Just Scullion , Kenny , Doc Lewis , Mr Power , Herself and COC today . Castle bog was the goal but we livened it up a bit with some sliart at the start then up the long mile dropping back to the ulster way on the black trails .Up towards Batts wall where the Doc managed an impressive clear round from the post to the forest , we were all very impressed especially Kenny who is normally genetically unable to give a compliment!

Up to Castle Bog where Cormac set the pace (just to annoy kenny) , Tim however got to the top first but as he cheated with a shortcut on the corner there was some debate as to the legitimacy of his victory.

Slipped our way to the wall and turned right for Tievedockdaragh , the ascent all very rideable . Very misty at the top and I was concerned that we would have trouble on the descent but as it happened we got it just right ( except kenny who performed a triple somersault on the way) .

Down to the ford and up to our old haunting ground at Red Bog which is mucky but passable .
Quite a chilled day out and there is talk of Cooley next week so watch this space.
