Hello All,
Group 1 – meeting at Westwood at 8.20am for a 8.30am departure (NOTE EARLIER TIME!!!)
Groups 2, 3 and 4: meeting at Yellow House at 8.50 for a 9.00am departure. Click HERE (Morilles Restaurant) for a Google Map view of the Yellow House. If cycling from Northside to Yellow House I suggest taking the cycle path along the path from Grand Canal Street to Harolds Cross. Alternative is to drive to Rathfarnham and leave car in the village.
Group 1 – N2 – Time Trial and Brick – John Lyons with Bernard Harnatty in support
Group 2 – Blessington – Bike Lead Gerry Maher. Route HERE 48k from Yellw House. 703M climb
Group 3 – Blessington – Bike Lead Michael Barry. Route HERE 75k and 1,080M Climb
Group 4 – Blessington – Bike Lead David O’Shea. Route HERE 90k 1,0880M Climb
Please be mindful of cycling discipline. It is important to re-group regularly given the climbs.
** 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!
Note:
Easter Monday, 17th – Groups 2,3 and 4 will be back in the Wicklow Hills. NO CYCLING EASTER SUNDAY!!!
Sunday, 23rd – All Groups will leave from Westwood at 8.30am
Have a great cycle on Sunday.
Bernard
