[jay boy]

Can i come please

[vampirebiker]

The place I was thinking about is Victoria Lock on the Shannon, 8km SW of Banagher. Prob about 50 miles I'd say, not quite sure. I'm sure we'd find a nice place to have an auld cuppa too!!

[hooligan666]

Enjoyed the first ride out, will try and make this one, what route we taking , got to be in work by 15.00. :thumbsup2:

[R.M]

who's planning the route lads?

[TriDolph]

will be there but weather for sunday dont look good but what are waterproofs for

[empeehaitch]

I missed the last one wud definetly be up for this one:thumbsup2: theres some great roads from limk through killaloe and onto scarriff eventually ending up in ennis, thats just my suggestion there are plenty of good roads around the county:thumbsup2:

[hooligan666]

Plan A : 11am B&Q, Nenagh, Birr, Bangher, Victoria lock. Quick fag break at each stop to make sure all is going to plan .:biggrin_old:

We could then go on to Loughrea, then Gort for a cup of tea .

Any other sugestions ?

[Sensei]

Sounds good to me Hoolie.

[jay boy]

Good idea dont forget the food stop

[joe mc gonagle]

sounds good to me was up that way with the family yesterday wished i was on the bike nice twisties:thumbsup2:

[gollum]

Rob, I can't make Sun 8th March but keep posting, as I'd be up for a burn with anyone, anywhere in Limerick, North Tipp or North Cork.....just not for the next couple of sundays!

Might I suggest a lap of Lough Derg? Take the Parteen road out of Lim, in the back road to Nenagh (Through Portroe), up through Portumna & down the far side back into Killalloe. Road is not great in places but there are some nice bendy bits!!!

Wherever ye head...ENJOY!!! :ninja:

[eyore]

Way hey! Great run today 220 miles round trip for me,thanks to everyone for making a newbie welcome. Got those valuable photo rally pics,looking at the ones of Victoria Lock you'd swear it was July,which considering what we went through 20 minutes earlier is weird:unsure2: Must try and get some of them downloaded.

Great run today, odd weather, mini climate zones?

[The Powerranger]

Well lads. Sorry I couldn't make it today but we had friends over to stay and couldn't kick them out at half nine this morning after all the yagermeister we had last night:lbhbh::lbhbh:
The ma gave us the lo down when she got home. Im sickened now I missed it.
Catch yee on the next one:thumbsup2:

[vampirebiker]

What a day!!! I'm so glad I dragged myself out of my warm bed this morning.
All I can say is, my riding skills will be all the better for it!
Thanks Mo for staying with me in the wind at one stage, it's the one thing that freaks me out, always will.
Wasn't that pleased with my photos, some of them over-exposed, but at least we got them and that's the main thing.
Victoria Lock was fantastic, I'm definitely goin back there in the Summertime.
It's lovely to see all the relatively unknown beautiful places in Ireland!!
Thanks to all for making it a great day, roll on the next one.
