Can I suggest meet up in the car park at Brown's Barn, Citywest, might be better for anyone heading up from outside city??

From there only a skip and a jump to Blessington/Sallygap/Military Road/Laragh/Wicklow Gap or Aughavannagh etc to South Wicklow??

Dublin crew return via main road back through Blessington?

I hope to get to this one, fingers crossed

Wicklow run sounds great.

If we go on the 7th (Sunday) we could get lunch a pint and some music at Macreddin village. It holds its monthly Organic Food Market and barbecue, with Out door Jazz the also have an organic brewery,

http://www.brooklodge.com/sundry/thevillage.asp

If I where planning a Wicklow run this would be it (don't want to step on anybody's toes)

Meet at Avoca hand weavers in kilmacanogue, have coffee while waiting on everyone to arrive. Out of kilmac and up to roundwood, then over to Laragh. Take the Wicklow gap down to Hollywood, then go from Baltinglass to Hackets town to Tinahealy, then swing back to aughrim just in time for the barbie/music/pints/coffee in Macreddin.

All the roads above have good surfaces and nice bends.

Open to suggestions after that, note sure how far people want to go.

An option would be to go from macreddin to glenmalure then take the military road (amazing views) back to laragh, from there there is sally gap (not sure what the surface is like though.

A pass for what?

I suggeted Kilmcanogue (off M50/N11) because it would be fair for those coming from dublin and our southern brederin.

Ivan's proposed the 13th , maybe this won't suit everyone. Ger , you wanna organise one for 6th and see what develops??? No harm surely if two runs occur within a week of each other :P
I'm provisionally organised for the 13th :wink:

I only suggested the 7th because there is some interesting stuff happening.
I do a wicklow run every day of the week, its where i live. So i can meet up anywhere along the way. But as i said "i dont want to step on anyones toes"
