These routes are flatter than the recent Wicklow Hills. Average Speed will be in the upper ranges of the target speeds of the groups (22-24, 24-26, 26-28, 28+). It is essential that you join an appropriate group for your ability. Good group discipline – tight two-by-twos, up-and-overs, etc are essential for these routes.
Please be mindful of cycling discipline. It is important to re-group regularly given the climbs.
** There is one cycle lead – and that person is responsible for the route.
** Tight two by two groups, with regular up-and-overs and with a single-file transition are the hallmarks of a disciplined cycle group. No “half wheeling”!
** Each group has a target average speed – this should be maintained. Surges in speed (lead from the front) leads to a dragging-out of the group and members get left behind.
** Traffic lights must be obeyed – pedestrian and traffic!
Note:
Sunday, 30th – Groups 2,3 and 4 will leave from Yellow House at 9.00am
Have a great cycle on Sunday.
Bernard
