Based on last few weeks numbers we could end up with up 3 groups of around 10-15 each.
Group 1: Orwell White/Yellow Level. Slower speeds and suitable for all standards though ability to cycle 50km with a hill or 2 is a necessity. Nobody will ever be left behind from this group and will regroup at the top of each hill. Wicklow 100 etc standard.
Group 2: Yellow/Orange level. Medium speed approx 23kmph inc hills. Suitable for those who are possible looking at Ring of Kerry or Wicklow 200 etc. Someone on the night will lead but it's generally self lead and everyone to take care of themselves and each other etc.
Group 3: Orange level. Fast Medium speed approx 25kmph inc hills. Suitable for any racing, marmotte, etape or faster w200 people. Again self lead as with group 2.
I think Tom Weymes will again take out the group 1 so I'm more than likely to do group 2/3 this week.

see you all tuesday night. Hoping to start Thursday nights the following week too. Won't be a beginner white level but a yellow/orange group with 60odd km spins

Garret

from the legend that is Mr Tom Weymes..........

Hi folks,
It's been my privilege the last couple of Tuesday evenings to release Garret to go blasting round the hills at 25 kph average (or so he says), while honouring his original 'no child left behind' pledge. Our more sedate group has averaged 17-19 kph over these hilly routes - perfectly respectable for those of us who don't, or don't yet, aspire to keep up with the hard men and women of Orwell. Let's have a few more along on Tuesday for the above scenic route, which should take by my reckoning two-and-three-quarters hours - so lights essential.
