    Well if you could just get the Lion of Fingal on board, together with a couple of those other vets that set up another local club this year, you will definitely be reminding me of one of my all-time favourite TV programmes

    Not worked out which one of you is Private Pike yet though .....:pac:

    Having met some of the founder members, I would have thought this was more appropriate

    Based upon initial observations this would appear to be a sprint specialist club with a very high proportion of protected riders. No sign of them going over the three sisters or the long draggy pull from swords to Balbriggan that was left to the Swords riders. But they all pop up fighting it out amongst themselves at the pavilions bus stop sprint and the sprint to the coffee shop in skerries.

    OK. So when do you normally meet up etc and what types of runs do you go on?
    Have to fit it around family obligations and work etc.

    I've recently started cycling again and am enjoying it but I don't think I am that strong yet.... so if there are not many on a run I don't want to be paddy last all the time etc.

    you wont be paddy last. No one gets left behind and everyone is encouraged.
    The only way to get experience is to come out and get experience.
    I will drop you a pm in a few mins!

    Ok plan is a base spin 0830 sat about 90 k average 29kph but waiting over drags.
    Hilier spin 70k ish over winter on sun.
    Series of entry spins too starting at 10-20 k for complete beginners and trying to develop a touring section of 50k at 24-5kph average.
    Also looking to have some MTB and cross spins.
    Planning to have 3-4 coached spins from proper coaches over winter too.
    Maybe spin classess too.
    Bit of everything and to include 10-15k leisure riders, tourers , vet/a4 racers and this year aspire to a gorey team.
    most of all incourage as many as possible to get into cycling at all levels in the area.

    Hi, as a recent 'MAMIL' inductee , I would be really interested in this as I have no experience of cycling within a group.
    I would have no problem dropping off a group if the pace picks up , old legs being what they are , just so I have an excuse to get out at the week-end .

    This would be a nice spin to get you going Dave as BCMF says nobody is left behind. The Saturday route has plenty of spots to catch up if you struggle on the small drags which come early enough in the spin.

    And I'm sure all MAMILS or MILFS are welcome. Some of the regular Saturday morning crew have trouble telling the difference.
