MTB Day

Had a great morning last Saturday Mountain Biking with John Boland.  If you are looking for a good workout and some challanging technical down hills you should give it a go. Would say my heart rate went up more going down than up. Even with the wind, rain and lots of muck we all managed to stay on our bikes.

Marathon Runners

Well lads, you've put us to shame.
Well done on your excellent finishing times & those well deserved pints last night.
Roll on next year , that more of Trilogy may complete the holiest of grails, that is the marathon.

Marathon Runners

I just want to wish everyone from Trilogy who are taking part in Dublin City Marathon tomorrow the best of luck. Have a safe and injury free race and don't forget to let us know your times. I guess Noel Territ all your sneaky training will pay off now :-)
Good luck and I hope the weather is good.

Mountain Biking

There is still 1 place available for Saturday.  Either ring John Bolton on number below or myself on 086 3866046.

 

Free Mountain Bike Course for 5 Trilogy Members

This time of year, theres many a triathlete who looks to the mountains for a challenge, something different for the off-season. Going off-road to pump adrenaline comes highly recommended, but a bit like when you decided to get into triathlon, you might well need a bit of help taking your first steps. What sort of bike, where could I get one, where are the routes, how do I climb, how do I descend?

Many of you will know John Bolton, one-time manager of the Heritage Leisure club, and some of you might even remember Diane Cooper who took us for spinning classes early in 2008 over in Killenard.

Well Diane and John have set up an adventure activities business and part of what they offer is guided mountain bike tours. The tour involves coaching, guidance, training and - crucially - the bike.

Better again, the first five people to contact John can try it for free. On the morning of Saturday week (24 October), John will take a small group to the Slieve Blooms, set up their bikes and introduce them to the sport.

To claim your free spot, contact John on 086 1055051. This is a limited offer - first five only.

Pub quizz this Friday

Hey everyone, as Trilogy's calendar was too busy this year for our annual table quizz ye might be interested in this. It is a pub quiz/auction and karoke in aid of LOFFA (Laois & Offaly families for autism). It is on at 8pm in the Milebrush pub on the mountmellick road. The cost is €5 per head and there is going to be lots of spot prizes. I'd love to see a few Trilogy heads there as it is an organisation which my family benefit from greatly.

I have FELT it

Yes it's true my Argon is no longer the coolest Bike on our street.  A very slick FELT TT has moved in across the road to the O'Tool residence.

Lads your going to have some fun tyring the catch this man and machine next year.

Party in Port

Hey everyone, Wesley has asked me to put this up on chat. He is the big 30 this weekend and he is celebrating in the Pint O'Port in Portarlington on Saturday night. Everyone is welcome.

The Open Road

The Open Road

Hi Guys,
What a great day for a cycle. Dry, Sunny, no Wind and NO TRAFFIC!!!!.
Sunday mornings are normally quiet as far as traffic is concerned but when the NRA build a new motorway and do not open it.........well the pictures tell it all.
Thanks for the suggestion Peter. Shame you could not join us.
There is a 10 km run on the same road in the next few weeks. I will post the details soon.

National Trails Day this Sunday

I hope you have your bikes in good working order for National Trails Day this Sunday, 4th October. The event starts at 11:00am in Emo Court - register at the main car park. There are three different bike routes - one suitable for kids, one for family groups and one larger route of approx. 7 miles that you can repeat as often as you like. Road bikes are fine as all routes are on road/tarmac in the environs of Emo.

Thanks to Trish and Mary for volunteering to help out on the day. I need four more people - but if you volunteer you can do so on your bike and get your excercise in anyway. If you are free to help out then please let me know on 087 9290642. To help out on the day you need to be at the main Car Park in Emo at 10:30am and should be finished on time for a Sunday roast!

For those who prefer to walk (or even run) there will also be a sli na slainte route.

So get yourself, your kids, your partner and your entire extended family to the Emo Court on Sunday morning. National Trails day is a country wide event but the Emo cycle and walk is being promoted by Laois Sports Partnership - who have and continue to be very supportive of Trilogy!!!


If you can go, remember wear your Trilogy bike jacket this Sunday.

Thanks a million

Maeve
