Think my best spin was traversing the mournes with the lads
Using a picture of a map on a phone screen and half an idea of where we wanted to go, felt like a proper adventure and the trails were incredible.
Come on now lets hear them
For me - you can’t beat the mid summer Open Mountain spin across the Dublin Wicklow border with a twist .... finished joining up with the Tuesday loop (ravens rock, Bag o cips and Knocksink).
Great crew out from Epic and WORC that day. I had an over the bars when my front wheel disappeared into bog and I landed head 1st into comfy soft bog. Nice!

Has to be the non-stop run off Cammadery mid summer! straight 15min enduro heaven..
myself and Alfie went on a parent spin during the summer over to knocknagun (spelling???). it was such a great place. bone dry during the amazing summer we had. oh god this is depressing
So many... so hard to choose one but I think Comodoto in the Pyrenees has to be up there...

Trans Savoie and La Varda in the Alps was aslo amazing.
Less Traction = More Action
Missed the bike during the best summer in years but got a day of sunshine cycling around Torridon in September. 6 hours with an OS map, compass, no phone reception, swarms of midges and an hour of hike a bike. Beautiful part of the world.
The Tuesday loops were all great (dry, dusty and warm and did I mention dry.
Cooley (despite going the wrong way).
Spin with Terry over Knocknagun
Roc Marathon (despite the mud).
Looking forward to Tuesday evenings around Djouce in the new year...
.
6000m of descending in a day in France in the sunshine, followed by wine and pizza, happy days :)
All the Summer spins, we had around 25 bikers for the spin around Scarr... and then another great spin from Laragh... Dreaming of sunny dry dusty trails again!

Sur la Plaque!
what a summer - so many great Saturday spins - some Crone from Djouce spins were magic - couldn't walk after them with the bumps and bruises - but the laughing and the letting loose was nuts! some fun, everyone having a ball - they were magical ones!
