SUNDAY SPINS
The backbone of the club are the weekly Sunday spins that are open to all members of all abilities. The groups are based on estimated distance and average speed – and you should be comfortable with both. Of course, average speed is highly weather dependent, but it will give you a general idea of what you can expect on one of these spins. Spins leave from Dunnes car park on the Headford Road (the meet point is directly opposite the entrance for the shopping centre every Sunday morning at 8.30am (9am during Autumn/Winter).
There are normally three groups:
Leisure: approx 60km @23/24km/hr
Intermediate: approx 80km @27/28 km/hr
Advanced: approx 100km @30/32km/hr.

Bad Weather
Club spins will not take place if an ORANGE weather warning is in place and may not take place if there is a YELLOW weather warning in place. Keep an eye on the WhatsApp group and Facebook page for updates.
Evening Road Spins
Held on Tuesdays, leaving Bushy park church at 6.30pm or 7pm (when the evenings get brighter) from April to September. Depending on who turns up on any given night, there may be a couple of different groups heading out to Moycullen, and home via either Spiddal or Barna golf club.
Gravel Spins
Gravel spins regularly take place on Wednesday nights all year round, and some weekend mornings, usually from the Galway Windfarm. Contact Mick Ruane at 087 9214950 for more information and to be added to the club's WhatsApp Gravel Group.
