Social Rides Week Commencing 21st May

Hope you’ve all had a good weekend.
I know a few have been out, enjoying the fine weather.

Just to let you all know, I’ve got a very busy week, this week so I’ll not be attending any rides.

Tuesday I’ve got Coastguard patrol.
Wednesday night I’m building flat-pack for friends, who’ve just moved into new house (which Rachel & I have been at all weekend painting).
Thursday night I’ll be at Conrhenny plantation, for trail building in readiness for the 24hr LDLR.
If you fancy lending a hand in trail building, get in touch.

Normal rides will continue the following week.
Sorry again.
But if anybody wants to organise any rides, let me know and I’ll send out email etc.

Cheers
Coops

The Flock Returns

Well, another very successful tour over with no major injuries, just a few bruised body parts, burnt nasal hairs and one or two pickled livers; OH and not forgetting Sinbad’s dirty bed sheet*!  The Flock has returned safe and sound to the fold they call home, another village conquered in oh so many ways (wink wink Q, Sinbad (aka Shinpad), Will (aka Will i am Wallace), Seamus, Dave and Gadge).

A cracking time was had by all and it is not without thanks to my fellow brethren, Coops and Sinbad for all the organising and planning and not forgetting tour virgin Pete for the safe delivery and return of the Flock, hope you get to enjoy a pint now you are back home Pete 😉

So on behalf of the Flock I would like to raise a glass of Bom-Bar-dier to, in no particular order, Coops, Sinbad, Foxdale, Will (Spectre No1), Cam, Andy, Seamus, Skippy (Mr Kleenex), Q (Spectre No2), Bazzar and Pete and toast them all for a cracking and memorable tour!

Thanks guys and here’s looking forward to Tour 2013!

Social Rides Week Commencing – 9th April

Hi All,

Hope you are all having a good Easter?

This week I’ll not be able to ride Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday due to Coastguard commitments (meeting, exercise, patrol).

So I’m hoping to go out tomorrow (Monday, day or evening), I know it’s a bank holiday, and some of you will have family stuff on.

If anybody fancies joining me, contact me, text (481793) or email (coops@loaghtanloaded.com).

Otherwise, if anybody wants to organise rides for this week, they can do, or I can do it (but not turn up and ride).

Cheers
Coops
