Gravel cycling in the Dublin mountains. I went up to Dublin for the Specialized Ireland gravel ride. I borrowed a bike from the shop and that the time of my life trying a different type of cycling. Gravel is always the best bit of fun on a bike.

Looked like some craic. If you ever want to borrow a decent gravel bike to check out the routes around KK, let me know.
My god great video hope the hand is ok but my ye are all cracked going out for a cycle in the weather 😊
Old school mountain biking with drop handle bars!
Best develop those mountain bike skills!
Honestly buy a hardtail mountain bike with rigid fork!.
I'm riding 30 years but at this stage I no longer see the enjoyment in those conditions… Fair play to ye for doing it though. A lot of that is more mountain biking than gravel. Amazing what the bikes can actually do, but my gravel bike definitely has a handier life than that. Maybe you're better off using the shop bikes
Good video get yourself a mountain bike much better for that job don't waste your money on a gravel bike.
Great video Derek. You need to try mountain biking . You would love it
Great video again Derek. Fair play for going out in those conditions. Safe to say the weather can't get any worse than that…you'd hope. 😅
It's a kayak you needed on that spin😂
Just get one bike (an aero Gravel), and then two sets of wheels… sorted. Can you share a link for that gravel route please?
Great job man getting out the gap.
Get some nice Specialized long fingered gloves.
Good video Derek 💯 well worth it with the rain, u can never buy those memories, u were lucky with that crash, a broken wrist would be an annoying set back, good stuff 👍
That gravel spin looked like some craic. Apart from getting wet is it better in the rain?? Also the 14th Dec like what kind of average pacing might you be doing. I'd hate to be slowing down the group or hanging off the back, if I can make it. One more q do you still have the roubaix?
Gravel is fun. There's no denying that mate. Nasty little slip there too, but you bounced, Da Iawn 👏
@Derek , fancy taking part in The Clare Gravel League this weekend in West Clare Sunday 23rd. We can put you up in a nice Shepherds Hut for the night 😀
That looked like an “entertaining” ride! Tough conditions!
Route?
The things ye do to get outta the house Derek !🤣
