On Friday last some of us made the trip up to Croagh Patrick to ride it on our bicycles.  After a few nightcaps in the pub we crawled into whatever space we had made for ourselves in between bikes and bags in the back of the van for what felt like 5minutes of sleep. . We started off up the long climb at 5 bells and to my surprise met people already on the hill. . . A nice lady out for a quite stroll, a legend who almost made it down by foot as quick as we did on bikes, 3 lunatics aiming to get up and down the hill 9 times in 24hrs, plus a number of tents, nice a place as any for a spot of camping i suppose.

We got back to the bottom, after a few gnarly incidents and a few busted parts, then we headed for derroura and did a lap there, which was… fun!

All in all, it was a great weekends riding, all wrapped up into 7 hours on a fine Saturday morning. Here’s a video Gregoreous Callaghan made.
