really well!
Not be out now, took the bike out after work and within a mile of the house she went off a cylinder. Think it's just the coil as it goes away after about 5k. So my end of season run was to the barber's 5 miles down the road ffs.

Unless the weather takes a nosedive tomorrow night into sunday!

**** 10.30am Carrick Castle carpark (just in front of The Swift) ****

This is the route: RMS EOS Run - A bike ride in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

Fuel: Anyone needing fuel we will be passing the small garage outside Carnlough (25mi in) and the one in Cushendall (35mi in) If needs be we'll be passing by Church Corner(Armoy RR circuit) on the way back so can nip across the road to Armoy (60mi in) and the rest of us can session the corner for instagram fames

Lunch: Is wherever we decide, I'm happy with Mortons chippy (y)

Safe and sensible day out (if in doubt at any time and we haven't met before, just ask an adult for Chris :joy: )

ps:There's no motorway @Scuba Steve :p

Might need to meet up with a few in Larne at the garage before the coast road but will tell them to join on if we aren’t stopping

Good run out with some great roads but my leg hasn’t held up well

Great day out! Had a chuckle to myself on the way back through the mountain wondering how @fabiostar was fairing. As a fairly new rider (3 years), I found it quite challenging at parts.

Bike has never been so dirty so washed and tucked up for another day.

@AC you handled most of the country roads well! I enjoyed the blast home... had to keep slowing down cause of the wind turning my jacked into an air brake and choking me

That was probably the most technical ride I've ever done in 14yrs + it was wet/damp/greasy or covered in leaves which is always in the back of your mind. I may forget sometimes that I've ridden in the wet from day 1 and maybe newer riders aren't as confident.

We all did it though with no dramas and everyones home safe, that to me is all that matters :grinning:(y)
