right as i can't seem to be able to add this to the calender i'll put it here for now.

Easter, 19th + 20th and maybe also 21st. Camping (B&B for pansies) to Achill Island in Mayo, Ireland. Phoenix, me, my bro, Eugen1 are going and hopefully more also. Will post more details closer to the time.

OK, A ride around Ireland before Mrs Phoenix (Sharon) drops their first child and he's (Paul) not allowed out to play anymore!

We'll head out on Friday afternoon of the 30th June and come back on Monday evening of the 3rd July. Just bring the tents or stay in B&Bs, but with no particular route planned except probably a stop a ChrisXHS's house in Tralee for a party! oh and a run round the ring of Kerry! Everyone's welcome for as long as they can join us.

Might help if you told us where it is.

Think the plan is to meet up somewhere near Galway on Friday 30th and then maybe head down Clare/Kerry. There's some fab roads and four spectacular mountain passes on the Dingle/Iveragh/Beara penninsulas. That's about all I know.... Ireland's only Beach Bar is in Caherdaniel (not sure how legit the claim is, but it's a decent bar...)

That's a shame I think we'll just miss you. We're coming over on Sat July 1st and are staying at Lough Ennell, Westmeath. Wont get over to Galway until Sunday and unfortunately the beach bar is 200 miles away from us. I'll see if I can find one on the West coast. Rode around the Ring of Kerry Summer 2004 on a glorious Summers day. We came over three years running and that was the only dry day we ever had. Still can't keep away though. Heres hoping for better weather this time.

Give me a shout if you get down this way.... the Ring of Kerry is ****e compared with the roads in the middle of the penninsula. I'd be happy to give a guided tour!

Hi guys,

This does sound good alright. Simon had mailed me a week or two ago about this and I didn't think I could make it as I'm going to the Skerries races north of Dublin on the Saturday, but I'd sure be interested in bombing back down to Tralee that night for some scoops and maybe a spin on the sunday ?

I'm in Tuam, 20 miles north of Galway city and wld be there on the Friday night so there'd be free, if somewhat humble, lodgings there for anyone who wants it too.

Bon voyage !
Paddy.
