Hi folks. We’ll be running a white spin on Sunday 23rd). Aaron will lead. I will support and we need two more experienced riders (at least) to support. Post up if you’re available. The more the merrier.
Last weeks spin was interesting in that there is a wide variance in levels of our new members. Having six supporting riders enabled us to split the group so that no one was overstretched on their first day.
An interesting story from one of the newbies at the coffee stop in riverstick: last year she turned up for a white spin and was dragged around Dunderrow, first time she had cycled more than twenty km in one go. She couldn’t walk properly till the following Wednesday and was never seen again until last Saturday when she said she’d give it one more go.
Think about this when leading a white spin. They are NOT as strong as you on a bike and the spin is for them!! Try to gauge the group as you head out the ballea road. Bawnleigh loop is loads for most. If necessary split it at the rising sun pub and take weaker riders to riverstick and back via forest road. Best advice you can impart on day one seems to be use of gears. They just love the big ring, in all the wrong places. Too much information can be bad too.
See you at the weekend.

Hi folks. Looking to post a white spin for Sunday at 10am. Based on the last couple of spins some but not all of our white riders are ready for a little bit extra. If we can get enough support (4minimum) we could split the group into white and yellow. Whites doing bawnleigh and yellows doing dunderrow. That’s just my suggestion. It’ll depend on who turns up and the leaders on the day can call it. Post up if you’re available to lead and I’ll post the spin on boards and FB. Cheers Niall.

Anyone available to lead a white spin on Sunday at 10am.? If we can get four volunteeers it would be great as we can then split the group if necessary. Some whites are ready for a little bit more (dunderrow?) but not all. It depends on who is there on the day. Feedback from beginners is that having lots of experienced cyclists with them is a great sense of security. Lots of advice and encouragement being dished out😀. Post up if you are available ASAP so I can post a spin tomorrow night. Cheers.
