Club Notes / This weeks spins
We hope that you all had a lovely weekend.
Finally we were blessed with fine weather this weekend which was very welcome after all the rain we have had over the last few months.
Race Training continued on Saturday morning where the lads got in a good 100km spin. Sunday we had 20 cyclists out on the club morning spin. In Borrisokane, we were joined by a few members of Lower Ormond CC which was great and they cycled with us for the remainder of the morning. This weeks spin took the group over a relatively flat route covering a distance of 80km. Well done to everyone who were out on the morning.
Open racing
On Sunday club member David Kyle kicked off his open race season. He travelled to Tralee in Co.Kerry to take part in the Lacey cup. We wish you the best of luck with your season ahead David. I’m sure we’ll see more of our racers in action over the next few weeks.

All together Pre Season Spin
We are holding a season opening fun all together spin this coming Sunday, March 6th to welcome new members to the club and entice others back out of their winter hibernation… This will be a leisurely paced spin so if you’ve any aspiration of using that bike this year give it a dust off and get it ready for this great morning out. Everyone is most welcome to join this spin on the morning. We’ll do the usual and set off from Moynans at 9am and cycle out the Limerick road to Birdhill and then on to the Lakeside hotel for complimentary Tea/Coffee/Scones before returning to Nenagh via the Four Sisters. We know it’s falling on Mother’s Day but don’t worry, everyone will be back well in time to go out for lunch or whatever you’ve planned. Put this date in your diary, we hope to see a big turnout on the morning. Nobody will be left behind and you’ll get the opportunity to meet other club members, make new friends and experience cycling in a large group. See you there 🙂
