Breakfast was had then a big group pulled out and disappeared before everyone was ready

[Animal]

I headed home from breakfast, but I think the group that pulled out were just going out to the petrol station!

[sirius]

Top notch brekkie as usual. 20+ people there this morning. A few of us escorted Daithi 400 out of the Pale. Nice spin down around Stradbally, Abbeyleix and Portarlington. Hope all enjoyed they're day. I certainly did.

[Playtime]

Great to see everybody this morning, spoiled for choice with runs but went with the Goats to Abbeyleix.

Hope that swan stranded on the centre margin of the M7 was rescued as the poor thing was a serious danger to traffic and himself......

Nice to see a big crowd at the brekkie this morning. It was lovely to be out on the roads again today and the weather was almost perfect, dry roads, just a bit chilly heading home. Lovely to see such a glorious orange sunset when heading home and the slight stretch in the evening is getting me all excited for the coming months.

Note to self: Will have to get photorally fit, as its been a while since doing long stretches on the bike and was starting to feel it after a few hours.

Thanks Trish and the guys, really enjoyed that spin today.

Great brekkie as usual in sportslink. Good to see so many faces old and new.

Ran with the Goats to the extremity of NOT CORK. Not a dark cloud to be seen all day and we all got home dry as a bone. Not a bad thing for January. More next week please with a bit more sunshine.

A rather spirited run up the motorway blew away the cobwebs and Sirius's ciggys were seen across my bow. No catching Ramjet on the Blade. ( lovely bike that )

Till the next time.

I'd only just bought them when we refuelled. Got home and sat down for a smoke and brew. No smokes. Bike was still outside so went for another wee spin to the shop.

Spooky - we had Brekkie in Stradbally then spun down to Abbeyleix and back up to Portlaoise!!!!

The back roads were a bit 'iffy' early on but a great day out. Glad you enjoyed yourselves
