Thanks for all your interest, I have enough people from ukgser forum so all places took

Hi ya, I live in n.ireland but if am free that wkend would be cool to join use and maybe show you a few places.

How Maggie that would be cool m8, we are staying in moria if you no it we have one day to get as many roads as we can in, the plan is to head west to the coast then do as much as the coast line as possible,
But please join us we would love the company

Iknow where moira is, about an hour from me, am north antrim coast which is beautiful part of coastline. Not fimiliar with west coast so would be useless for local knowledge but might join you guys for the craic. I have done little in southern ireland/west coast so would be cool to see it. Should be free as long as nothing crops up at work, stay in touch.

Basically you arrive sat night and then head back 1st thing on mon morning. So really only full day sunday to bike? And you are staying in moira both nights? Where abouts on west coast are you thinking of?

We did Antrim area last year very nice, too much traffic though,,,, Not for certain but dunglow looks the starting point to head for then see how far we can get round before heading back to moria,Maggie my email is kevingrahambutler@hotmail.co.uk send me a message I can send details back
