Sunday Cycle – 4th March 2017

[Bernard]

@NewToTri members, please come along to this second week of cycle induction course, even if you missed last weeks session. See post from Adam too!!

Cycle Induction Course with Ian Cassidy – Week 2 – Papal Cross, Phoenix Park at 9.00am. 2 hour session.

Groups 1, 2 and 3 – meet at Westwood at 8.50am for a 9.00am departure

Group 1 – Gentle Hill Repeats – Sutton side of Howth – John Lyons (repeat of last week)
Group 2 – Northside Spin – Bike Lead Ger Fennelly. 57km – Malahide, Ballyboughal. See route HERE
Group 3 – Southside Spin – 9.30am pick-up at Yellow House. Bike lead Michael Barry. 80km – Blessington Lakes. See route HERE

Please be mindful of cycling 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.
** 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.

Have a great cycle on Sunday.

** 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” – that will be explained tomorrow morning!
** 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!

Have a great cycle on Sunday. Note that the first Group 4 cycle will be on March 26th – the first day of daylight saving!!
