Pre-ROC road training spins

Hello

I'm having a week off since last Thursday and then I'm going to start preparing for the ROC (cycling-wise not pints, Smithers!). I'll be doing club Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday MTB spins but also 2 additional road spins each week, one on Wednesday and one on Saturday morning.

They will be steady but with lots of climbing, about 2-2,5h long (excluding commute to the starting point).

The meeting point is Yellow House, 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays starting from next Wednesday the 5th of September.
I'll skip the 8th (enduro in Carrick) and the 15th (my TCL assessment).

No racing up the climbs for Strava records but a good steady pace (my pace)

Everyone (that is able) is welcome.

Oh and I should add that each of these will start with the Cruagh Road or Stocking Lane climb up to either Military Road or Glencullen....

This is still on, 6:30 at the Yellow House. Steady 50k-ish not more

Let me know if you're coming

Moved this thread here, I don't why but it wasn't poping up in the 'new posts' feed when it was in the Road section

Just so you know Max the 'New posts' list is dynamical generated for each user so it only shows post they havent seen. So since you posted the thread / post it would not be a 'new post' for you so won't show in your feed.

Great spin, 50k, steady with lots of climbing, beautiful dry weather, perfect!
Just me, Jacqui and Sean Downey... Jacqui is flying on the road bike btw, savage!

Whoever plans to do Cross this year should be on these spins, the first Cross race is a month away (same as ROC) so enough time to build up your strength properly. I'm expecting a few more next Wednesday!

Cheers Max,not sure how savage I was feeling at that first climb! Forgot how nice it was to hit the road bike again and clock up a few miles. Def good training for the Roc.

you people are insane...everywhere is drying out and you are out on the road !!

Same tomorrow people, 18:30 at the Yellow House.
I'm still recovering from my yesterday's physio session so it won't be too savage

I'd love to make these Max .... but the "planning permission" doesn't include Wednesdays!

.. I think you can appeal 'planning permissions'!

Yeh but then Tuesdays, Thursays, Fridays or Saturdays and Sundays might be up for re-negotiation too so I think I'll keep my gob shut!!

Pre-ROC road training spins

Yea max I appreciate u putting these on but like lynchy I have limited time so have to stick with the usual days.

No worries, I don't mind doing those on my own but if someone shows up then even better!
