CLUB NOTES

3 members of Youghal C.C. headed for Ballyhoura last Saturday for a bit of fun with the Mountain Bike. It was a regular trip for two of us but a maiden trip for the secretary and his new steed. A wet day was on hand for the hike around the mountain which served us well as the heavy downpours softened up the ground nicely for Mark who was in flying form. The white 33km loop was enjoyably completed on the day but the heavy terrain made it feel like we had completed 60km.

This Sunday, it is planned for a large group from the club to be heading for the mountains for a bit fun on the mountain bikes in Ballyhoura. Anyone interested in going is asked to contact the club secretary or Anthony at 087-8843739 for details.

The Sunday Spin – Sunday 03^rd October

With the Sunday morning spins slowing down after the many sportive recently completed, a group of 8 gathered as always at the Market Square for our usual weekly spin. With the sun shining and the greengrocer singing Michael Bublé songs after his previous weekend antics, the group departed Youghal in good form at 9.00am and headed for Cappoquin via Tallow and Lismore. Coffee break in Cappoquin, they group returned to Youghal Via Aglish and Clashmore with a comfortable 60km completed.
