Hi All,
The next Belpark beginners spin will leave Rathfarnham Club House at 9.00 am this Saturday, 13th of February. Andrew Boyle will lead the spin this week.
The aim is to be there at at 9.00 am so that we can assist with any queries and give some pointers to those who are new to cycling and to be on the road by 9.15 at the very latest.
Some information on the spin if you are new to the club:
This is an approx 2hr easy bike spin suitable for those new to triathlon. You must have previously completed at least 30km or a 1hr solo/group spin. Bring road bike, helmet, snack, drink, money, phone, spare tube and pump.
Please have a read (or re-read) of the Rules for Belpark Spins before attending spin too, just to make sure every is aware of cycling etiquette for group spins. If you have any queries or comments re any of the terminology/rules, please just post below too.
Rules for Belpark spins: belparktri.com/2015/02/04/cycling-etiquette/
Please note that mudguards are mandatory in damp and wet weather as a courtesy to your fellow riders, please make sure to have proper mudguards that cover your full back wheel.
Please post below if you plan to come along, so we can gauge numbers and ensure we have enough leaders available.
Thanks,
Conal

Will there be a track pump at the Clubhouse available for us to use? My bike is in one location, pump in another!

Hi Aisling, we don't have unlimited access to the club house (and I seriously doubt there is a pump either way) so no I'm afraid

Seeing as there is mention of punctures and track pumps on this thread: tip of the day for road biking.....pumping up your tyres every time you head out (to something like 110psi) will greatly reduce your chance of getting a puncture. See you in the morning folks.
