Post by: whoRya on March 16, 2011: When is it again? I'll be in work as usual, I've never found an employer who wants to let me off for it. I could always take a holiday and wreck the holylands like a culchie farmer from Tyrone-hey.

Post by: LandyLiam on March 16, 2011: bit off topic but are suspension bikes worth it? seems to me like the springs will absorb your precious energy, so if your not doing the crazy downhill stuff, why bother, please correct me if i'm wrong ;D does seem a good price though

Post by: Paul72 on March 16, 2011: I'm taking my energetic 5 year old around the woods to do a nature trail! ;)

Post by: RedLeader on March 17, 2011: You should throw that in a thread of its own. I'm sure someone would know, probably Twentyclicks.

Post by: LandyLiam on March 17, 2011: Borrowed the nephews and nieces and all went up Slieve Patrick today (it seemed a LOT bigger when i was a kid!) then just got to the parade in time for the start, got a great view right at the starting point, then took the kids down to the Quoile to do some treasure hunting, good day out. Will throw up a few pics later of the parade, some excellent floats, standard is getting very high these days.
