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
