V2 Gym now open and new website now live

There’s a new gym in town…well in St Johns to be precise.  V2 Gym is a new, sleek,  modern, functional gym that is situated on the Kennaa Estate in St Johns, just of the Hope Road.  Why not pop on over to the new website and sign up for one of their sessions and you never know you may just get lucky and land a Kettlebell session with our very own LDLR 2012 Solo Ladies Champion Cat.

Full directions to the gym can be found on the website HERE.  If you visit the gym from this post/site please let them know so they know we’re doing our bit to help promote the new venture.

Loaghtan Loaded MTB are proud to support V2 Gym and it’s instructors and wish them every success for the future.

LDLR 2013 Entries Open!

For those that were too slow to get your entry in for Longest Day, Longest Ride 2012, entries for Longest Day, Longest Ride 2013 officially opened at 12 noon, Sunday 17th June 2012!

There were several people that had issues with their event jerseys not fitting or who had not changed the drop down and ordered an XS mens jersey when they should have ordered a L or possibly XL (no names mentioned this time as I’m sure you know who you are 😉  If those people that have had issues please contact me (gadge@ldlr.im) then I can make sure we get the correct jersey ordered.

Social Rides and LDLR Trail Building

Hi All.

I know it’s a busy time of the week/year, with TT races etc…
I also know a few are managing to get out safely on their bikes for rides and training etc…
Unfortunately I for one haven’t been able to get out, due to various commitments etc…

But normal social ride service will continue after the Longest Day,Longest Ride event which is just around the corner…… 16/17th June!

We still have quite a bit of work to do up at Conrhenny in preparation for the event so we propose having a further trail building session this Saturday 9th June, 09:00am.
Bring shovels, wheelbarrows, saws, racks etc……and please remember……

Many hands make light work!

Look forward to seeing a few of you up there on Saturday.

Cheers
Coops

‘I Hate You TT’ by Chris Waller

One of our founding members shares his love hate of the TT Races.

*WARNING*

Contains strong language, you have been warned!

Each and every June
Of each and every year
My normal life is shattered
By motorbikes and beer.

All over facebook
The TT Bells do chime
‘Come party everbody,
Its fucking TT Time’

I may stand alone
In my hate of all this shit,
But I don’t like you TT
Not One God Damn Fucking Bit

I don’t like your shitty beers
Or your cheap white plastic tents,
Or the way you rip off tourists
With your shitty fucking rents.

Or the way that all the wankers
Seem to crawl out from the wood
Make us all look like dickheads
Like we’re from some shitty hood.

I don’t like the fucking funfair
With its shitty fucking rides,
And the fact you pay five quid
Just to risk your fucking life.

But I really hate the bikers
Who put my life at risk,
By pretending to be racers
When really their just dicks!

Your riding aint that great
And your leathers aren’t that cool,
You’re not some sacred cult
It’s much more like a band of fools.

So next time you think of TT
And the wait just seems too long
Thank god we’re nearly halfway
And it’s nearly fucking gone.
