Hi All,
the Sunday spin will go ahead at 9am from the club house in Rathfarham village. Eilish will lead the improvers group but we still need leaders for novice, intermediate and advanced spins.
Kind regards, William

The improver group will be doing the Blessington lakes route. Distance is about 70-80km but there is an option to also do 60km for those who prefer shorter or are caught on time. Be prepared for 31/2 to 4 hours for the 80km if you need to plan ahead. The pace will not be fast, average 23km-25km on the flat. The route has some short sharp inclines, nothing extreme, all very doable and nobody will be left behind!
I am also easily persuaded to do a cake stop if the group would like this 😄!
Weather looks good but wear layers as it will be chilly and bring a rain jacket...just in case...! Also, some nutrition especially if you intend doing the 80k
See you all on Sunday.

Hi Is the novice spin going ahead tomorrow? Thanks Hi, The novice spins will start proper next week. We have already arranged leaders. There will be more than one group to cater for every need. This week if any novice would like to try going with Improvers the pace is not going to be too fast. This time of year as per the training plan it is all about Zone 1 & 2 (easy). The Improvers are going to Blessington, it is a straight road out so if the distance is too much you will be able to turn around and find your way back easily. I hope to see you tomorrow. Cheers Frank |

The good news, Daragh, is it probably doesn't get any worse than that. It might be the same a few more times, but you started at rock bottom, weather wise, so it's all going to be easier from now on! |
