Meet & Spin

So, you’ve been out cycling on your own and passing groups of cyclists merrily chatting away and thought it looked fun without knowing how, or having the confidence, to join in or get started? Or maybe you used to regularly group ride and are now out of the habit?

If so the SSCC ‘Meet & Spin’ cycles may be just the thing needed to get you out with others: a gentle ride up the Greenway as far as Moate for a coffee and a bit of a social (with the club buying the coffee!) and then a similarly gentle return to Athlone. Time on the bike will be under an hour each way, and all in the company of experienced cyclists both keen to advise and encourage and able to deal with any mechanicals you might suffer.

As confidence and fitness grow the rides might get a little longer culminating, for any that fancy it, in the club’s annual Tour of the Heartlands flat 50km route through the lanes of Westmeath and along the Grand Canal in early May.

If that appeals then please just turn up to the Athlone Regional Sports Centre for 9am on any Saturday from 21st of February.
