Club Spin (Touring Group) 2nd Feb

By Andy Lakes Nine riders set off on what was a cool Saturday morning for the Touring group. We made our way up the Embankment and took the turn near Brittas for Manor Kilbride. Patches of frost were soon joined by frozen puddles which had us doubting our choice of roads. Close to Manor Kilbride we hit a section of road ... More

Club Spin Report 24th November

By Colm Tobin The club spin was to depart from the Phoenix Park this morning with the plan to head in the direction of Enfield for a change of scenery. With this in mind I set off from Ashbourne slightly later than usual, in the presence of a light fog, and hints of frost on the sides of the road to remind me that it ... More

By Colm Tobin It appears that, having proposed the route for today, I indirectly put myself forward as the author of the spin report, so here it is… Having missed 2 weeks of Saturday morning spins due to holidays I was eager to get back out and get a few miles in the legs again, and having kept tabs on those of you ...

Club Spin Report – July 7th

By Brian Hayden What is it the pros say “a bad day at the office” not that I am comparing myself to the mighty men of the pro peloton but this is what happen to me on the spin last Saturday. Heading out to meet the lads (there were a few new riders I have not had the pleasure to ride with yet) I was looking forward ... More

Club Spin 2nd June

I would like to declare that no animals were hurt during last Saturday's spin but that simply wasn't the case. The advanced group had a good strong bunch of ten hardy riders taking advantage of what turned out to be the best weather we’d see until Monday. An incident ridden spin of rabid animals and tough climbs that ... More

Club Spin 21st April (racing group)

Fortunately we escaped the wrath of the April showers on Saturday last and managed to clock up a 105km spin in a moderate breeze. There was a good turnout for both groups as we assembled in our home ground of Parkvale. Our route took 10 of us out towards Enniskerry and taking a sharp right hand turn up Killegar to expand ...

Club Spin 14th April (racing group)

Baltic. That’s the only way to describe it. Six hardy souls left Parkvale ready for a nice late spring spin to be met with arctic winds and snow lined edges. How Richie managed with with summer gloves and 2 layers is beyond me. Rule No. 5 with No. 9 added for good measure. We had discussed routes and the day ahead ... More
