SPIN REPORTS

G23k : The weather didn't look favourable for todays spin but by the time we hit the road it improved. The group headed along the N72 turning left at the Welcome inn. As Kereen approached a water stop was called to take off the rain gear at the pub. The group continued towards Clahmore turning for Aglish cycling through Villierstown onto Dromana. Upon reaching Cappoquin the group turned left for dearpark and headed back into Lismore for coffee at the Farmers market. As the group headed for home entering Cappoquin the cyclists turned right for Kilmalosh back onto the Clashmore road heading for home via the Bog road. Dis 73km avg 22kph

Group 4 set off on a fast clip out the coast road to Bunmahon and then turning left for the first climb to Kill. Turning left in Kill there was a slight deviation from the route we turned right to bring us to the N25. Turning left off the N25 Danny had a surprise hill in store for us before descending into Kilmacthomas where we decided to stop for coffee. Sitting outside in the sunshine meeting with cyclists from Waterford the clouds started to gather so we headed for Mahon bridge turned towards Lemmybrien and onto Kilrossanty and avoided the rain. Turning right to start the climb over the Mauma road the wind had picked up with cross winds at the top. All climbed successfully and we descended into Kilbrien and onto Beary's cross. A quick water stop and it was on the road again into a headwind but so far so good we had dodged the showers. A quick descent down Colligan and turning at Master McGrath the promised rain arrived. A good spin 81Km with 900m climbing.

G3 had 14 out hoping to dodge the showers on this week's spin A smart clip up Colligan turning left at the top to descend the black hill. Off to Cappoquin cutting across a new road for us to appear out at the top of Lismore. A long drag to the top of Tallow before crossing over to Inch and Mount Uniacke. A puncture in Killeagh before trying to use the cross wind as we traveled on towards Youghal and finally back accross the Deise border. A peppy enough spin back with pbs galore on the sweep descent. 100k with 950m climbing at 28kph.
