Hi Orla

Sunday is fine, but it will be around 80k for the full distance. Plenty of options to turn around if you think it's too long. Some usually do.

Hopefully see you then.

Lynn, in the likely event that Conal does not see your message before the morning - yes that should be no problem, enjoy. Frank

[ConalM]

Good stuff Lynn. I won't be here but you'll be in good hands with David.

Sunny & hilly spin this morning - well done Lynn, Amy, Aisling and Gary. Route was Stepaside, Glencullen, Cruagh and down via Hellfire. Lots of climbing, but worth it for the stunning views of the mountains. Remember: keep your cadence high (90+ rpm); use your gears and enjoy the views - you're out there to have fun. It's not your job!
