    I'm looking for a cycling partner or partners for cycles between 30 and 80 km. I'm reasonably fit but looking to get fitter and faster after the winter. I'm hoping to get out in the afternoons and evenings during the week and once maybe on a weekend morning. I tend to average 25-30kmh on an average cycle.
    I've got a pretty decent bike and looking to make good use of it
    Cheers

    I go out with a group on Sunday mornings. At the moment, we are doing 80-90K, average speed 27-28KPH. We leave The Quay Cycles at 9.30am on the dot.
    We will be changing back to 9.00am soon.
    We are not affiliated to any club.
    Start together- finish together.
    Age group 30-60+
    2 weeks ago, we had 13. Last week 5.
    All welcome.

    Partners are for dancing!!!, your cycling so whatever you do make sure your cycling with someone with a good sense of humour, this is one of the greatest assets a person can have, nothing worse being out for 3hrs with a grump you'd be better off out on your own, most of the Drogheda lads are sound though, you wont be long settling in.
