Club Notes / This weeks spins
Monday last 8th of February, the club held a very successful second open night. We had a great turn out of club members and non members on the night. Thanks to everyone who helped out to make the evening a success, you all know who you are. A big thanks to Peter & Dave Moynan of Moynan’s Bike Shop, Nenagh for hosting our evening. Thanks to Eugene from “Giant” bikes who gave us some info on the new bikes for this season and allowing us to go test out 8 carbon demo bikes that were on show for the week, thanks to Paul from Busters Bootcamp for the use of his Wattbike, it brought out the competitive side in our members in the turbo competition..Well done to Rob for winning the yellow jersey in the Wattbike competition. Thanks also go to club member John Foote, of the BST Clinic, Ballinderry for taking time out of his schedule to showcase his sports therapy business on the evening. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our new members to the club and we look forward to seeing you out on the spins during the year…a very enjoyable evening was had by all 😀
Friday afternoon
The club had a very successful Bike fit day last friday in Moynans Bike Shop in Nenagh. We had 13 club members take advantage of the bike fit and we would like to thank Aidan & Michelle from Bikefit Ireland for their time and thanks to Peter and Dave Moynan for hosting the bike fit.
Weekend spins update
Saturday morning our race group took on this years new Visit Nenagh Classic A3 route. The lads enjoyed the morning spin even though it was cold and wet, they also said its going to be a tough race for the classic as there are plenty of hills thrown in for good measure that will split the riders in the race. Well done lads.
Kevin, Rob, Eoin, Liam & Nanno on Saturday morning.
Sunday morning we had the usual club spin that left from Moynans. It was a lovely bright sunny morning for a change, there was a strong breeze into them on the way out to Birr but when they turned for home from Roscrea there was a lovely tail wind helping them home. A enjoyable spin was had by all. See you all next weekend again.
Just a reminder to everyone of the Table Quiz….
Our table quiz will be held in the Dapp Inn, Nenagh this coming Friday 19th of February @ 9pm. This is always a great night out out and a good laugh. A table of four is €20. We have some great main prizes for the quiz night but would ask members to bring along some spot prizes for the night if possible. Please bring as many friends and family as you want on the night, everyone is welcome, the more the merrier. 🙂
