For the remaining absentees you should note that now is the time to get the miles in, if you don’t, you know you’re going to suffer later on in the year when we are all doing the big tours.

Christmas Spins.

YOUGHAL CYCLING CLUB NOTES 13th DECEMBER 2009

The Weekly Spin – Sunday 13th December.

Finally, the cold, dry, sunny, winter Sunday morning we were all waiting for arrived last Sunday. A group of 10 riders gathered as always outside Moby Dicks at around 9.00am and headed on out the main road to Dungarvan. All were well warmed up by the time we reached the Shanachie where we turned down into Ring for a well deserved hot cup of coffee. Refueled, we traveled the coast road through Old Parish, down into Ardmore, through Piltown and home to Youghal, where we arrived back for around 12.15pm with 60km in the legs.

The spin though was not with out incident, Young Elliot Murphy took a nasty fall at the rear of the group while descending down into Ardmore. Thankfully he was not seriously injured although he did end up with some nasty road rash and bruises and I suspect he is still pretty stiff as he reads this. Don’t worry though Elliot, it’s happened to us all and it won’t be long before your back on the bike. Get well soon from all the members of the club !!!.

On a lighter note, Concern was expressed by all on the spin last Sunday over the large number of absentees. We understand that a lot of the absemtees are concerned about the club night out which will be upon us shortly. However, that is no excuse Schleck Bros., You should be training on the road for the road and not in the pub for the pub.

Note to all club members that a number of spins will be organized over the Christmas Holidays to burn off the mammy’s or the misuse’s Turkey and Ham. We will also be organizing a trip to Ballyhoura for a bit of Mountain Biking and as always their will be a trip to Blarney for the Donal Crowley Sportive event. Details of all the spins will be organized shortly as well as the infamous Club Night Out. See club website for details.
