Sunday Cycle
What a fantastic cycle this morning. The route had been planed and displayed on the website so Team Leader Simon ensured we all got off on time. (ok, I was 2 minutes late but there was no hanging around once I got there). There was 8 of us in total today and Simon made sure we stayed altogether while at the same time incorporating a 'big push out' for those who wanted it going into Stradbally. (I think it was Stradbally). Anyway, I'd like to thank Denise for the route and Simon for his leadership and of course the gang at the cycle. May we have many more mornings like this one.

Hi Folks,
I'm on a roll today. I have been working with Willie and Murt on putting a cycling route plan together. We are trialing this for May and June. We are starting with set routes at the weekend, covering distance, terrain and difficulty. We will also be including Time Trial routes on Tuesday evenings and shorter routes of approx 20-40km routes depending on demand and numbers.
To start with this Sunday Simon Tsang is your leader. Meet at the PLC at 9.30 am (please note this time will change on Summer Training plan to 9.00am).
The route for Sunday 6th May is:
Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Ballyroan, Stradbally, Vicarstown, Emo, Portlaoise. Distance 62km.
This course is a mixture of Flat and Hills. Suitable to all levels, Simon will organise groups on the day. Remember to bring a drink, snack, phone and puncture repair kit.
I will be putting the weekend cycle routes and distances on the Calendar over the next few days.
We need leaders for all of our cycles. Let me know if you are available, denise@trilogy.ie. Also any helpful comments or alternative routes are welcome.
