Hey folks, How good are your basic bike maintenance skills? When you get a puncture out on a spin if your first thought is “I hope there’s someone here that knows how to change this” then this may interest you. Our good friend and highly experienced bike mechanic John Preston is offering to hold a workshop on bike maintenance for members. The workshop will consist of a pre- ride checklist, basic maintenance tasks you can do with a few basic tools and how to handle those on- road mechanicals without having to phone home to be rescued. John is taking part in the Tour de Munster this August and all proceeds from the workshop will go towards his fundraising efforts for Down Syndrome Ireland, Munster branches. Suggested fee for the workshop is €10 per person or a donation of your choice. We need a minimum of ten people interested to make it feasible. I’m thinking this may be of particular interest to our large group of new members. Take the mystery out looking after your bike and you will save money in the long run. So, if you’re interested post it up here and if we get sufficient numbers we will organise a date, time and venue. Cheers Niall

We are getting good interest in this through our Facebook page, mostly from new members. If you want to take part sign up soon as places are limited. We don’t want to have too big a group and make the workshop ineffective. Cheers Niall.
