Well what can I say? It was a glorious day for a cycle and we even had the company of some new faces. Thank you to all who came along, I did notice that some of those that were with us two weeks ago were missing. I hope the trip to Portrunny did not put them off and they will join us next week. I believe that everyone had a good time and certainly some of the junior cyclists put the rest of us to shame. In talking with some of the parents that were cycling, I think the seeds of an idea are growing in relation to a project for the junior cyclists over the summer months. Cycling should be for everyone and it was great to see road, hybrid and mountain bikes all cycling together. There are those who enjoy speed and then there are those that just want to get out for a spin. We have to try to cater to all types and we need your suggestions to help and indeed pull us back when we get ahead of ourselves. One of the suggestions to come out today was that we might have a 10am cycle as well. This group could arrange to meet the fitter cyclists from the 9am start and return to Kilteevan for the 1130 gang. That way the 9am cyclists can push 30k+ while the 10am group could maybe hit 20k+ (or in my case 10k+). Let's not forget that not everyone is as fit as they might like to be and not everyone wants to compete in the Tour de France. So is this something worth looking at? Have a think about it. I won't make next week's cycle but you can leave comments here or open a topic in the forum.
