Monthly Club Spin Starting December 2/12/12

Right folks, starting December 2nd we will be doing a club social spin.
Myself and Alfie have been discussing the poor attendence on Sunday spins and all these other spins going on at the same time with various different groups doing their own thing. We feel its not good for the Club.
Every Month regardless , we want to see all members on this spin. No training for this or that when this is on, it won't upset your "training" by doing this one Club spin.
We will meet every first Sunday at Lamb Doyles for a spin around 3 Rock. The object is to ride together as a Club, the route and the pace is not important. So no excuses, just turn up, ride your bike with your mates and have a sherry afterwards in Lambes.
That way people can do whatever they want on the other Sundays and we still have a club and everybodies happy.

jesus..things must be worse than I thought.. the Forum is dead with feck all posts and I attempt to put some life back in to the Club and this is the reaction..nothing. There was a time when this would have attracted at least a dozen posts by now. Should we just turn the lights off now ?
I think it's a great idea, I think we should also strap your arse to the saddle so you can't stand up and drop us all on the climb to Blue Light! :)
I'm going nuts here with only one spin in since the Roc, I don't think I can wait much longer....
This is a deadly idea. I love riding my bike but I enjoy it a million times more when I'm out there with the club. Yeah, some spins are a bitch to stay up with, but that's my problem - well here's the chance for mortals like me to have the laugh with all the members fast and not-so-fast! fantastic!
good man Max..and thanks. I promise I will sit down the whole spin ;} thats a classic by the way..
Going hard this time of the year will do absolutely nothing for the next year racing season, unless you're racing cross. We could even incorporate some fun skills sessions into those like everyone trying a jump or riding along a fallen tree etc. Watching everyone trying the bridge of doom on Ewoks or the rock of loneliness was always great craic!
Good idea. Those who do feel they are losing out on training could get in an hour fast pace before or after the spin.

yeah.. they were great old spins and as Doris says, you can always go for a quick blast before or after the spin..probably before. I love the banter in the boozer after the spin..I think i'll build some sort of death contraption on 3 Rock just for these spins like the bridge of doom on KDM..though, trying to get down the shlomp donkey fest that was the 2nd stage in the King Of 3 Rock will be funny enough..
Great idea, there is simply nothing like an Epic craic spin. Count me in!
another great idea byrne...fair play to you.
be good to get everyone out together and have a bit of craic
Briliant idea...always graet craic when the club is out in big numbers.
I miss these style spins. I'll be there.

(I agree with Max too... training hard now for next year's XC season would probably be counter-productive)

I agree too!! Steady and a not so savage pace for the winter months is what you need.

Oh!! And heated grips aswell
