Sunday Cycle – 23 July 2017

[Bernard]

Hello All,

Groups 1 meeting at The Yellow House at 8.50am for an 9.00am departure.
Group 2/3 – Option 1 – meeting at Yellow House at 8.50am for a 9.00am departure
Groups 2/3 – Option 2 – meeting at the Papal Cross at 8.20am for an 8.30am departure

Group 1 – 50Km 703M Climb – West Wicklow – Bike Lead TBC – Route HEREE
Group 2/3 Option 1 – 80Km – 1,500M Climb – Wicklow – Bike Lead Michael Barry – Route HERE (Note, this may be reduced if the group want to reduce distance / climbing!)
Group 2/3 Option 2 – 75Km – Dublin 70.3 Route – Meet group at Papal Cross

For new cyclists in Group 1 living northside, I recommend that you drive to the Yellow House rather than add and extra 20Km cycling from to and from the Yellow House.

Please remember good bike discipline:

** There is one cycle lead – and that person is responsible for the route.
** Tight two by two groups, with regular up-and-overs and with a single-file transition are the hallmarks of a disciplined cycle group. No “half wheeling”!
** Each group has a target average speed – this should be maintained. Surges in speed (lead from the front) leads to a dragging-out of the group and members get left behind.
** Traffic lights must be obeyed – pedestrian and traffic!
** Groups should not break-up on the flat. If they do, then they should re-group as soon as reasonably practicable.

Have a great cycle.

Bernard
