Davagh - Sat 8th?

[ColB]

Not been out off-road in a few weeks and am in need of a fix - aiming to start at 9am, happy to swing by the gates at 10 as well...

[Big Dave]

Just for you I think I may also start at 9.

[ColB]

ah good man :-)

[Rick B]

Motivation has all but left me :( - I don't think I can bring myself to go out in the awful weather with a bike that needs a service to get plastered in cold wet mud. :o

HELP ME!!!

[ColB]

come on man it's only the first few hours that are the worst ;-)

you'll enjoy it once you are out there, although I think we may have to avoid the car wash as it is just a mud pool!!

[Rick B]

you'll enjoy it once you are out there,

Tis true and I know it but still the urge to remain dry and warm is strong!!!:eek:

I know you guys will be out so I'll see how things shape up for me tonight and decide later on.:confused:

[ColB]

As Yoda would say:-

"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will."

give in not to the sofa and large mug of warm tea - get wet, cold and happy instead :D

I was in Davagh forest back in October with a few other boys from ballymena - we met up with Rick B. A few of us were thinking of taking a run over tomorrow morning. Could you give us directions from the small roundabout at the top of cookstown as we seemed to take a very long route last time (we ended up going round in circles for about an hour and a half).

Thanks

No probs.

From that roundabout coming in from Moneymore take right and follow that road (I think the signs are Churchtown/Lough Fea ).

When you have went out the road about a mile there is a sweeping bend to the right but a junction off straight in front of you. Take it and follow the road all the way up to a T-Junction (4 odd miles). Take right and after a few hundred yards you'll see a forest entrance on your left opposite a quarry.

Can't promise anything but feeling like I really should get out. Have to go out now to the riot that is Youth Club and I'll talk to Gail when I get home about whats happening tomorrow.

[richardchristie_uk]

Thanks for the directions, pity about the weather. Maybe wait and see if fairs up this afternoon!

[ColB]

[Big Dave]

Good call me thinks Ben.

Ere Rick, you got that bike sorted yet? Out next week?

[Big Dave]

Lol. Haven't good memories of my last lights expedition! Be better off with candles on the front of the bike!:D

I will try to get out a Saturday before Christmas - only two more to choose from so if not this week definately the next.
