I must put new back tire sat morning, maybe after that around 12-13 o'clock

Should be around, will know better later in week.

I like the sound of the 3am midweek spin around town, we'd be making big profits for the tire companies though.

H'mm we could mark out our own 'Macau' GP - up and down the quays and over the bridges.

It sounds like madness but it was great fun...

It would be a lot quieter earlier in the week... You could do it around 1am or 2am on a mon or a tue... ops.. this IS tue :woots: :woots:

Here's a proposed route (in red) - mostly good roads to Gorey - don't know what they're like from there down? Might be a bit ambitious to hit Rosslare and back if we're leaving at 1. I'll head as far as Gorey anyhoo.

I marked down some other nice bits of tarmac (purple) - feel free to add your own bits - preferably not "touring" routes - more twisty bits please :D

I've added a few wheelies, stoppies and donought burn-outs in Rosslare for the bad boys :devil:
