Club Updates: 10/11/19 I am still cold typing this latest update out, 5 hours after getting off the bike on our Sunday spin. The morning started off nice but once the freezing fog came we were battling the cold for 4 hours on the bike. Having 15 club members out for the spin makes the time go by that little bit quicker. The Saturday spin was also weather affected, this time it was a wet start and cold temps that…
Weekend Training The weekend weather forecast seems pretty decent for a bit of cycling. Slightly cooler than usual so we will just have to cycle a bit faster to warm up! As always come out and support the club cycles if you can. Let’s see if we can break the club attendance record for the lake on Sunday. Of the two days we train, Saturday is the most suited for newcomers to the club. The first half of the Saturday…
Club Updates: 03/11/19 Just the one club cycle this weekend as the rain forced the cancellation of our Saturday Spin. We had 15 club members out with us on Sunday trialing a new route. The most we ever had out on a Sunday is 16 so that’s not bad going. The new route went down well, with enough time for talking, plotting, scheming, easy work, hard work, eating, drinking, sneaking off and knocking. We had two lads racing this weekend…
Weekend Training It’s back to being just a normal weekend, instead of 3 cycles it’s just 2 and it doesn’t even look like we will be getting 2 cycles in! Tomorrow looks like being a complete washout so we are making an early call on it and cancelling. Stick to the turbo and try your best to come out with us on the Sunday cycle instead. We are trying a new route on Sunday that we hope will entice more…
Club Updates: 29/10/19 Off season training is flying by and we have already put our first month behind us. We hope to welcome back a lot more members to the group in November. As the months pass by the intensity will increase bit by bit, meaning it will be harder to jump into the group the longer you stay off the bike. This week we have the usual spins planned. Last weekend, we put in a nice block of long…
Weekend Training The weather looks like it will improve for the long weekend. Expect sunnier conditions and light winds but low-ish temps. With the extra day, it’s a good opportunity to put in a good block of training. If you are looking for good training then you have come to the right place. We will be out on the bikes on Sat, Sun and Mon. This Saturday we are throwing a few hills into the mix and on Sunday we…
Club Updates: 20/10/19 We had 35 cyclists out on their bikes with the club over the weekend. Great to see such great support from our own club and the Tri Club. This could be the start of a big year for both teams. Huge mileage was covered over both days with 160 miles / 256km cycled. Some did it all and others did a little and headed for home, no bother, just do what you can. It’s very early days…
Weekend Training It’s time to saddle up again as we head for the weekend. There will be groups on the road on Saturday and Sunday. The weather could be best described as changeable, so be prepared for all sorts. The Saturday cycle will still be going ahead as normal, but with the Ireland match on, numbers will likely be a little lower than usual. Take a gawk at the routes and know what our plans are. There will be a…
Club Updates: 13/10/19 It has been a very successful weekend for the club with some big wins in some big competitions. David, Keith, Eoin and Aaron combined to win the County Intermediate Cross Country club title in Moyglass today. In the individual event Eoin bagged himself a bronze medal finishing in 3rd place. That result is fresh on the heels of the news that Shane has become the Adventure Racing National Series Champion after his hard fought victory in Killarney…
Quest Killarney – Race Report by Shane Scully The bruises and cuts all over my legs, reflect how battered my brain is at this stage of the season. To say I am delighted to be hanging up the trail runners for the year is a massive understatement. Racing these tough events with the wrong attitude is not the place to be. I started tuning out of the sport about 8 weeks ago and was lucky to get to Quest Lough…
