OK so Covid has left us free to meet up again.
We had a lovely Christmas Brunch meet up at Stradbally Fayre and the most common question was 'are we having a Patricks Day meet up?'
So I popped up a Facebook page suggesting 11 or 18 or 25 March.
Anyway 11 March does not work for those going to Alicante...
That leaves us 18 or 25 March as possible dates.
Stradbally Fayre is suggested, meet for 9am depart 11am for ride on route to be determined with a stop or two.
Edit 27th January: Facebook link and sign up. https://www.facebook.com/events/707678734077926/?acontext=%7B%22source%22%3A%2229%22%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3A%22plan_user_associated%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22null%22%7D¬if_id=1674797855864985¬if_t=plan_user_associated&ref=notif
Edit 23rd March: Route options thanks to 88 Will.
We have a couple of suggestions for routes on Saturday. We need to avoid motorways to enable all members to participate.
Option #1:
Run from Stradbally to Dunbrody Famine ship, New Ross via Thomastown for coffee and breakout. 80kms
Option #2:
Run to Carlow and back up to Abbeyleix via R430 (Spink/Swan) and breakout. 70 kms
Option #3:
Stradbally to Kilkenny and back to Portlaoise services for coffee (via Abbeyleix) breakout onto M8/old roads as necessary. 102kms
