Youghal Cycling Club Notes – Sunday 23rd September 2012

Club Spins Note that all official club spins are scheduled to leave from Moby Dicks per the schedule at the bottom of the report. With all the sportiffs complete for the season we are now back to winter training – the heavy miles and speeds have been brought back. If there are any people who have taken up cycling over the summer months and are interested in taking up club cycling, then you are encouraged to come out with us now and get the winter training in for next year.

Duathlon The joint duathlon between Youghal Cycling Club and Youghal Athletic Club is on this Sunday, 30th September. The format of the event is a 5kmrun leading to a 20km cycle, followed by a 5km run to finish.

Entry is limited to members of both clubs and all entries are a team format (runner & cyclist). We will be mixing up the teams to keep them balanced and have an exciting competition. Entry is E10 each with all proceeds going to local charity. Please contact Richella Devereaux (Running) or Brian Sanders (Cycling) as soon as possible to confirm your entry. The event centre will be at Summerfield Bar and all competitors are asked to be there for 11am with the start at 12pm.

Club Tour 2013 As advertised we held a meeting two weeks ago to discuss the proposed tour to cycle the Pyrenees Mountains in France next year. A large group of enthusiastic cyclists turned up for the meeting with a general consensus that this was a great idea. Within minutes we had a list of 15 names and the lodge booked up. Well done folks, keep posted for further details on flights and bookings.

Schedule as follows (weather dependent):

Sunday at 9am from Moby Dicks – Intermediate Cycling

Sunday at 10am from Moby Dicks – Beginner (& Golden) Cycling

Please note that all riders are expected to have road bikes (racer type) of good repair for scheduled spins. Riders must wear helmets, bring a spare tube & pump.
