Besides lads – evenings are for running and cycling … everyone knows that ….

So that will be the end of this chat about more evening swims…. the committee is monitoring demand/supply aswell as the price of crude oil and we will see you right …

Nothing else to see here citizens … move along…. move along….

[stevenmoody]

how much does Sinead swim analysis cost so?

[stevenmoody]

Hi Ciaran

The committee is actively monitoring levels of attendance during the various swim sessions to ensure we are offering the best options for members within our budgetary constraints.

At present – we are happy with the current offering being the optimal solution for the majority of members, especially when you take into account the “seasonal” nature of our demand curve i.e. we do not expect the Monday night lane to be as full going forward.

So in relation to your question – no there is no current plan to increase night options for the club but we will review this stance over the next few months based on the attendance levels/options we have.

Little update on this ….

There is no cost to attending members as club is covering the schoolhall rental

At the start we will be limiting the attendance to 10 people whilst we get a better idea of the capacity …. (the fella who organised the hall is off on his holidays) ….

Will post up separately to get an idea of numbers for this Thurs.

Hi Step Hen

I am just a mere messenger delivering news of wonderful new offerings to members new and old alike….

Think of me like a triathlon Santa in that case …. however to get the detail you require — you need to talk to the elves that make the things happen …..

Anthony????????? Anthony???? your needy friend wants to come out to play ….

Unhelpfully yours

Morning guys … myself and Casso have had a look again and unfortunately there is black ice out there that is not showing any signs of shifting.

So in the interests of safety – both spins cancelled.

Hopefully we will have better luck next week.

Stay safe!

Hi Guys,

Just did a quick recce and it is a bit icy at moment – so plan is to now move the spin to 10am start as this should give the morning sun a chance to sort it out.

Will review the situation again in an her or so and confirm if the revised start time is still a goer and post up on site.

Either way can those who have said they are coming confirm they got this message and if a later start would suit them

Ok guys – happy we have decent numbers tomorrow.

Just a word of warning – noticed some ice out on road tonight – so I will be checking in am if we are still good to go tomorrow.

So please check the website in the am before leaving (always good practice btw) to make sure still on. I will post up in the am.

I suspect we will be ok but best to be safe rather than sorry around this time of year.

@paul …. your feedback is noted and will be filed in the same “special” place for any independent thoughts that dare to query my authority….

Glad we worked that out…

@newbies – sorry for any confusion from the above – we will be a little more joined up in future …

See you in WW tomorrow and please note the following.

You are responsible for bringing a road worthy bike – ie brakes/gears/tyres in good working order and a helmet.

I will be checking the above and if you are missing of the prerequisites you will not be allowed to cycle with group – no exceptions – so do your checking tonight please.

You also need to bring – food (jellies/energy bar/banana – we will only be out for 2 hrs approx so no need to pack the kitchen), water/energy drink, helmet, spare tubes, hand pump or CO2 canister and appropriate clothing (weather forecast is for sunny spells but will be coldish) – so recommend gloves, beany,long sleeved jacket, base layer, long cycle trousers if you have them

Will confirm the route tomorrow based on ability.

Paul

Meeting from one location does not work – as if you attempt a start from WW @ 8:30 – you are adding on an hour/30km to the planned spin which many newbies may not be ready for … thus will go against your plan to encourage them out.

Have spoken with Casso and we are in agreement …. 2 options as above … I do not know how I can make it any clearer.

We are going to offer

Beginners who it suits to do the 2 hours from the northside (WW Clontarf) – post up against this thread
People (beginners – advanced) who it suits to go from southside (yellow house) – post up on Casso’s thread
https://www.piranhatri.com/forum/topic/sunday-4th-january-bike-spin/

As I said in the first post – if the WW option does not make it easier for any beginners it will be canned and the plan will revert to original of Southside only start as per Casso’s post.

[stevenmoody]

Hi Paul

Just to clarify – to make it easy for the newbies (and not give them any excuses to shy from the first cycle of the year) we are offering a northside and southside departure ….. so by definition we cannot meet in the same place and go from there … unless you have discovered a secret way of cheating the space/time/continum….

So lets keep it simple….

Beginners who it suits to do the 2 hours from the northside (WW Clontarf) – post up against this thread
People (beginners – advanced) who it suits to go from southside (yellow house) – post up on Casso’s thread
https://www.piranhatri.com/forum/topic/sunday-4th-january-bike-spin/

Hope that is clear to all now – including Mr muddy-the-water Mooney

Reminder – people have until 13th Jan to register interest and pay €295 deposit.

Happy new year

[stevenmoody]

Ah that would be me … I am not very bright at that hour in the morning… (or any other hour apparently)

Cheers for that John – will be there to collect on Thurs
