Cycle 4 Sick Children

February 22, 2012 in Latest News by Liam

Another fine turnout last weekend for the clubs Sunday spin from the Delta Dome at 9am. As we had cyclists competing in numerous events we decided to merge both the advanced and beginners groups. The spin headed towards Cratloe and the climbs around Gallows Hill. Over 60k was covered once again.

Numerous cyclists took part in a Duathlon last Sunday organised by the Limerick Tri Club. The course was a 5k run, 20k cycle and another 5k run to finish it off. This was a fantastic effort by all that took part and well done to all concerned.

We had more cyclists making the trip to Blarney for the Donal Crowley Memorial over 100km. Sean Kelly was on hand to launch the cycle and what a day it was. This was the first sportive of the season with many more to come in the months ahead.

On the race front, Edward O’Connell made the trip to Kildare for the Ned Flanagan Memorial. It was the first race of the season and Edward put in a mighty effort finishing in the pack after a hectic race. No doubt Edward will only get better and better as the season goes on and is relishing the racing season ahead.

As conditions go, last weekend was as bad as it gets, but C4SC turned out in force once again for the Sunday spin from the Delta Dome at 9am. In total we had 28 on the road on a cold and wet Sunday morning. Our beginners group made the trip out the Tipperary Road to Monard and back, covering 62km. The group are upping the distance each week and the dedication and enthusiasm is great to see.

Our advanced group headed cross country through Caherconlish, Hospital, Emly, Lattin, Tipperary and back to Limerick. A good pace was set throughout for a very enjoyable spin covering 90km.

Spin classes are continuing on Mondays and Wednesdays at Prozone where both Risteard and Izabele put the team through their paces.

This Sunday 5^th Feb the team meet at the Delta Dome at 8.45am for roll out at 9am sharp. Routes for this Sunday are published here on the website.

Welcome to  the FIRST C4sc  spin for 2012 . Lets make this year even more of a success, to our previous one. We welcome all abilities.

The following is a message from our Road Captain, Hugh Dunne, “Two groups will start together and do the first 15k together. Then the Beginner/Standard group will peel off on their 40k route while the advanced group will continue on their 80k route.

As it is the first spin of the year, I would hope to have a big turnout from members as we will have numerous new cyclists on Sunday”.
