Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Just looking at the route tonight Jim,

Are you thinking of going via Enniskillen to Sligo then downhill to Westport ???

If this is the route, we need research for cake stops lol

Its not the route google puts up but its the way anyone who has been there says to go .. A great run and have been told the Quickest .. Great roads all the way.. Loads of places to pull in and let the blood flow back into the cheeks.. Should be fun good.gif

Just wondering if there are any more Carpedians interested in the Ireland G2G on June 25th-27th? Looks like we have eight heads at the moment.
Cheers,

Would love to go but it's a long journey all on my lonesome. Trying to drum up support from other TDM riders around the south-east.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

I know the G2G is still a way off but as this is my first I was wondering are there any set ground rules ??? Like is it OK to bring some liquid refreshment to help with the overall costs.. plus it would be nice while sitting around the old camp fire to have a small glass of something warming to help me sleep.. drinks.gif Also does anyone have a pump to blow up my airbed??? ohmy.gif Will there be a BBQ.. as I will need lots of food to keep me going all weekend..

Rules are.. there are no rules. What you eat or drink is up to you.

Kickstarter, when are you travelling up, and what route?
