Southside Wheely Wheelers Cycling Club.
Well done to all the Wednesday Night Riders who attended the Wednesday Night Light Cycle. Weather was very good, dry but a bit windy as we cycled up the street of Kilmallock. The 2 hills of the 3.7kms Quarry Hill circuit make this mid week cycle a real challenge but great training. We had two groups cycling and it is perfect to have a second group that allows you get fit at your pace. We had two cyclists out cycling last Wednesday night that were off the bike for a few months and they were able to do laps with us and call it a night when they had done a good workout. That’s what the Wednesday Night Light Cycle is all about as winter training is to be enjoyed and not to over train in winter just keep your fitness and then in the new year start your training fresh with a good base fitness. Flashing lights, hi viz vests, arm bands, leg bands, helmet lights, you name it, we have it on our bicycles. Be safe, be seen, is what safe night cycling is all about as we start our cycle every Wednesday evening at 6.30pm. Our thanks to Edmond O’Reilly, Brian O’Shea, Adrian Gammell, Jerry Ryan, Ger Finn, Sean Burchill, John Carey, Brendan Houlihan and Paul Gammell.
