Gadge would like to thank everyone that expressed an interest and attended the Loaghtan Loaded Social Evening at the Horse & Plough, I think it is safe to say everyone that attended enjoyed the good food and even better company 😉  and hopes that we have made some new friends and maybe even gained a few more in to our merry flock.

Thanks again and see you all very soon, some sooner than others, on the trails!

Gary ‘Gadge‘

For all those people that expressed an interest and confirmed you are attending, please see the menus below.  We have booked a table for 7.30pm at the Horse & Plough under the name ‘Cooper’ for us all and would ask that we look to arrive between 7pm and 7.30pm. As they stop serving food at 8.15pm we thought it best if we pre-order the food, so can you please let us know by Friday evening at the latest what you would like from the below menus.

If anyone has any allergies or special dietary requirements can you please contact the Horse & Plough direct on 626060 and order your food with them, making sure to tell them it is with the ‘Cooper’ party.

Any problems please let us know as soon as possible and we look forward to seeing you all there on Saturday.

Good News!  Our regular social rides will resume normal service with effect Monday 23rd July.  We would like to apologise for the lack of social activity over the last few weeks which has been due to a number of factors, LDLR 24hr event preparation and recovery, holidays and foul weather.

Regular social rides will resume from Monday and if there are any volunteers for ride leaders (for want of a better term) then please get in touch with Coops (M: 481793 or E: coops@loaghtanloaded.com).

Loaghtan Loaded MTB is organising a social night on Saturday 28th July at St Georges AFC from 7.30pm.  This event is open to all Loaghtan Loaded members, friends and family as well as any other MTB riders.

This will be a great chance to have some food and a few beers with like minded people and chat about your favourite rides on and off island.  This event is strictly by ticket only and will be limited to 50 and are £15 each, this includes a Chinese buffet.  We also hope to hold a raffle and/or auction and would ask that people kindly donate a little something for this.
