Sunday 16th October spin leaving from Rathfarnham clubhouse at 8am. We will have 3 levels - details outlined below so choose your level. If you are not sure, I suggest being conservative and go for the lower level. Better to get home feeling fresh and wanting to come back out next week, than struggling and put off coming back out the next time! Please post up, stating level so we can ensure we have enough leaders.
NOVICE
Average Speed: 20-22km
Distance: 40-60 km
This spin is aimed at those new to Belpark, triathlon and group spins. Spins will start at around 40km-60 km in length and an average speed of 20-22kph. Great fun for those starting out. This group will always be led by an experienced member of the club, and pace will be carefully controlled to suit the ability of those attending and nobody will be left behind. A small amount of cycling experience is required before attending- you must have previously completed at least 1 sixty min spin.
IMPROVER
Average Speed: 22-25km
Distance: 60-80 km
The improver spin aims to assist people stepping up a level from the novice group. The spin will do similar routes to the intermediate spin but at an easier pace. The distance and pace of this group will progress throughout the year.
INTERMEDIATE
Average Speed: 25-26 km+
Distance: 80-100km
This group is for stronger riders who like bit more of a challenge and are comfortable riding in a group, ascending/descending hills and spending 3+ hours on the bike. Typically this group is made up of the advanced women and intermediate men in the club. Some of the athletes on this spin occasionally take the option to turn off earlier to do a shorter route (i.e. 60km-80km, rather than 100km).
