Tough enough spin. Lynchy is really getting those climbs sorted
As soon as I make a break for it he's on the gas and you can hear him coming. Brilliant stuff.
Everyone is flying. Jackie is sooo strong,amazing last climb of death to the bitter end
She passed me at the start and that was it game on
The two lads are probably never going to talk to me again. Aw well
Was that u Smithers u big fellujah?

I get a great buzz from those Thursday sessions! Big crowd out despite the cold - although we didn't stay cold for long! Felt really strong all night .... now if I could just lose a few kgs I'd give that Terry fella a real fright! Savage wind, especially at the turn at Enya's house. Good pace too - 58kms at an average of 25kms/hr - good going considering all the climbs!
Saw Smithers making his way back on his own as I went home from Foxrock ..... come on Smithers that just can't be fun!

Just devoured a giant recovery bowl of egg fried rice... Man those hills make you hungry. I felt like I had the brakes on all night, nothing in the legs at all. Pushed hard on the last climb and I felt a little better.
Well done all I really love these spins... Oh the suffering

ok..the point of the Thursday evening spins is to bring the club together and to give people like Carol a chance to ride with stronger riders. Its great to see so many people out and the best thing is you get to see different people each week surpass themselves. You can go up the hills as hard as you want and if you get there first you can have a chat ..theres loads of chat going on on the flat bits, the descents are fun on a road bike, I see people on these spins that I rarely get to ride with on a MTB because these spins allow everybody to ride together for 90 mins.
They are not about the training for me, they are about the people and the club. Its great to see people like Ken and Oisin on these spins who are not actual members but savage riders in their own right.
Its a shame that some people dont see the value in these spins.
Its the one time that people of all abilities can ride together as a club, I'd be a pretty brutal President if I didnt at least try to dream these things up !
