Club Training: 08/12/19 Another weekend, another storm. Dealing with the winter weather sure makes it a lot more difficult to train consistently. At times, you really need to be super motivated to keep going. There was a good crowd of 17 out on Saturday but few ventured out into Storm Atiyah on Sunday. When the weather is so unreliable it makes committing to weekly turbo sessions all the more important. At least that will keep some consistency in your training…
Weekend Training Saturday is looking good on the bike, overcast but pretty warm. Sunday could be a mixture of all sorts. If you want to get ready for our big Christmas Hamper Ride on December 14th you should get out on both days. Even throw in a few sprints to help you bring home the bacon the following week. Two big dates coming up in December are (1) Christmas Hamper Ride – Sat, Dec 14th (2) Kerry Training Camp –…
Club Updates: 01/12/19 Let’s hope today’s freezing temps aren’t a sign of things to come for December. We are in the final month of the year before dreams start anew for 2020. December is a busy month for many so get out when you can. We will be penciling in a big 2 week block of training for the end of the month so that should help kick start your training. It’s likely we will be heading to Kerry or…
Weekend Training So far the weather doesn’t look too bad for the weekend, cold but generally fine. We are coming into a new month now so the late starters should dust off the bike and get back out there. It’s a great way to keep the weight from piling on over the Christmas and you never know – you might enjoy it. If you are looking for big improvements try to get out on both days. We have two groups…
Club Updates: 24/11/19 This weekend’s weather looked worse than it actually was. It was dull and cloudy and a little bit cold, but it proved good weather for cycling as there was no frost, no rain and no wind. We took full advantage by putting in some big mileage over the weekend. Over the Sat and Sun we had 27 cyclists out on the road. The scratch bunch is going well but we could always do with a few more…
Weekend Training With news of the Rás being back on the calendar that might add a little bit of spice to this weekend’s training. We can all dream, but if you want to make that dream a reality then get your ass on the saddle. If enough people show a genuine interest, a willingness to work hard, 100% commitment and are willing to train together as a team then you never know what might happen. Think about it. For those…
Club Updates: 17/11/19 That wasn’t exactly the best weekend for cycling. It was very cold out there on both days. We cancelled Saturday and between the cold temps and mist on Sunday nobody actually made it the full way round the proposed route. Just a little note on the call on Saturday – just because the official club cycle is called off it doesn’t mean you can’t go out yourself or organise for others to meet up at the same…
Weekend Cycling Temperatures are very low at the moment and that makes it a little harder to get on the bike. This time last year it was 16 degrees! We have spins planned but stay tuned to Viber and Facebook for last minute updates. Sunday is looking slightly better than Saturday so make that your one definite cycle this week.Tomorrow’s cycle is a 50:50 call at the moment whether the spin goes ahead. It could be a little dangerous for…
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…
