This will be great, any idea on numbers that are expected?

Also, might be worthwhile to stick the date in as tomorrow in the header so people may read it, (i've a tendancy to skip threads now and again) but it might bring it to peoples attention/remind them that this is tomorrow!

Maybe it's not cumin up because I'm checkin this on my phone.But can't see any thing about what route they'll be taking just where it's starting from.Which is only down the road just wondering because my brother wants to try join us along the way. He's kinda fond of tallaght hospital after he spent bout 6 months in it after a bike accident . Any info thanks lads

a few quick snaps from the day, nice to meet you all, was a grand run, maybe a bit blustery!

by **leamyj** » Sun, 29 Apr 2012 6:28 +0000

Yeah, blustery it was indeed.

Spent a lot of the run avoiding branches on the road, we even came across an ESB .....Sorry Paul :mrgreen:

, telephone pole almost across the road.
Congrats to Paschal for eventually getting us back to our starting point, them map things can be very confusing. We never have those kinda issues when the runs are organised by mx5'ers...maps?? What are they???

Pat, congratulations on what seems to have been a very succesful venture, hope you raised loads of money for a very worthy cause.

Also great to put a few more faces to names, well done everyone.

John

PS, they weren't maps as we know them, kinda pace notes with junction and distances info thereon, only the distances were in miles, my car only has an odometer that registers kilometres!! A great system actually :wink:

Great day out, cold and blustery, but still very enjoyable. Congrats to Pat and PJ for a well organised day. I think it was 8 or 9 MX5's on the day, so one of the better ones. Great to meet new people, faces to names etc...

Well done again

Arrived home safely, what an enjoyable day. Nice to meet up with you all and put names to some of the faces. Thank you Pat for putting together such a good route, even if we did our own version a couple of times. Hopefully when all the monies are counted it will have been worth all the effort. I left home with a full tank of juice and had the light flashing at me before I reached the city limits on the way back, I didn't realise they were that thirsty, or maybe just a good sign of a fun day out. Thanks again lads, hopefully I will meet up with you all before too long.
