The park will let you out at Castleknock Avenue. Take that all the way to Blanch Main St.

Go to http://maps.google.co.uk/ and you'll see it's a fairly straight shot.
I've done it loads of times.

anyone ever thrown up while cycling?

once, cycling into work from Sallynoggin, i had to get off the bike and have a lie down in a field for a while.

i think i'd had a bad pint the night before.. i got to the field and hit a slight hill and i think my stomach decided to get rid of some excess breakfast. kinda like someone dropping weights out of a balloon to make it go higher.

it felt lovely to lie down on the grass for a while. nice and cool..
like lying on a box of capri suns

 

[rettucs]

no never.

but I've felt the urge to chuck a couple of times. Never happened though.

maybe you're allergic to aluminium. Or capri-sun. Or both. Was the capri-sun in those alu-foil packs? If so, I think thats your problem.

i threw up once on edmondstown road, just after the left hand turn which would take you to glencullen.
this was just as a german camper van was pulling up, presumably to ask directions. they did not hang around.

cheers dude. That just reminded me that I need to collect a package in the post office in the morning.

# i've never thrown up from any sort of exercise, although I've been fairly close. I think throwing up is more when you get a bit belt of lactic acid / lactate into your system, and you are not used to it.

Ie, you are fit enough to get nice and anaerobic, to be able to do work anaerobically for a few minutes, but not used to it yet. I get the pukey's if I lift weights after a long lay off, or get on the bike after 2 months, and put 20 minutes in way too fast.

Shaky, and pukey feeling.

After a while, your body can take the lactic acid levels, and flush its self clean.

I think its very similar to getting used to drinking. At the start, you get locked easily, and then not so much.

 

[george mcfly]

hey wait..

i was a fucking mess that morning, i'd drank so much the previous night that i forgot that i actually lived in town and got the nitelink out to my folks

 

[flashback]

The possibility that alcohol had something to do with it can't be disregarded out of hand in that case.

 

[magicbastarder]

cock. so much for my new frame. the front wheel is tucked in more under the bike, i.e. closer to the pedals - and the cleat on my shoes cannot be moved far enough to keep my toes from the wheel.

 

[flashback]

That's shit man.

Condolences.
Presumably it was entirely your fault?
