KILLARNEY TRAINING
Due to Killarney being booked this week, there will be no cycle training on Tuesday 1 November. The last training session of the year will take place on Tuesday 8 November (the track is again not available for the rest of November, unfortunately).
NEW WOMEN’S-ONLY ROAD FUNRIDE
To date more than 200 women have entered the PPA “Heels on Wheels”, presented by SHAPE magazine (11 Dec). Choose from a 47km and 13km route. Great goody bags to the first 350 entrants. The event is specially designed to cater for newcomers to cycling and female cyclists who perhaps don’t participate in funrides as often as they’d like..
