Saturday 25th Yellow Spin - (NB new start time)

We're moving the Saturday yellow spins forward to 8:15 to avoid the 100 and 200 groups outside Joes. I know that's a bit painfully early for some of you, sorry!

It's good to have the odd step-back week where you take things a bit easier and get rid of some of the accumulated fatigue so here's my planned route for Saturday. It's practically pan-flat!*

83km and 1071 metres of climbing. *It was as flat as I could bring myself to make it :)

Pan-flat/Ballinascorney/1071 metres - doesn't compute! Is it yourself you're trying to fool, Greg? Go on - flaunt your unashamed inner sadist.

People call me a sadist but all I say is, look at Garret! Or Stalin.

Yes agreed Greg however STALIN had some redeeming qualities....

Weather forecast for Saturday has massively improved. It's now promising some drizzle instead of the previously forecast biblical flood. Here's hoping it continues improving all the way to bone dry.

I'll be out either way and if the weather takes a turn back for the worse we can discuss shortening the route on the day. I'm only looking to make people suffer from the climbing, not from the elements :)
