G2: on a very mild morning G2 joined with G3 for a nice steady warm up spin to the boathouse in Cappoquin where the 2 groups went their separate ways, the 5 G2ers went to Lismore then on to Tallow where 1 rider stopped to fix an imaginary mechanical, just bad legs was all it was. On to Tallow and up Tallow hill with a stiff headwind to try to keep the pace controlled, it failed. Drop down to youghal bridge where we met some more DCC coming up against us, unfortunately being overtaken by a jeep, on a continuous white line, on a bend....what can I say, patience. We headed across to kinsalebeg turning left off the main road to b given the middle finger from 2 younfellas in a white BMW, exciting spin this, we headed for Ardmore for a deserved coffee break, then back on the bikes for the pull out of Ardmore where one of tge racers decided to test his legs, a regroup at the old parish crossroads, another dig was given at Baile Mhic Art national school, another regroup at the top of the drag and all stayed together for the rest of the spin home. 100k covered @ 30kph
