    I didn't realise that, had to get a letter of release go switch before. Don't know if Crumlin has that Southside sheen ;)

    More of a scuff there I suppose! Of course, before those of you who take offence at things like that, I'm joking.

    AFAIK you can be a member of as many clubs as you like but only race in the colour of one competitively I think. Just like PMCQ and his national federations.

    Phoenix Park is perfect for training. I am looking to arrange a women's training group for this season, but not aware of a similar group for men. Some of us found the Tuesday Team Worc group too fast/advanced, so want to do our own thing.

    If you do arrange the Womens training will you keep me posted? Really interested in giving this a go!

    Will you be putting a post up on womenscycing.ie? (would be a great idea!)

    Thanks.

    Will do, think there are about 4 of us, no formal coaching more of a meet and train. Early evening midweek /weekends in late September seems to be the plan.

    Best way is just to go and explore the trails, plenty of them and you won't get bored. I don't use a specific route.

    Myself and Alex just explored...http://www.strava.com/activities/187403418

    The best trails (that we found)are probably around the Glen lake at the western end of the park.

    I use that and the area around the Khyber Pass, the whoops beside the magazine fort and the trail along the wall. Pitches beside the cricket grounds are good for skills training and it's generally quiet.

    Endurance spins are good but don't forget your skills sessions either, which involves some very repetitive stuff...

    These are from yesterday

    Raam, can we actually join you one day? Just to watch and chat, maybe some practice on the side (without disrupting your training)
