New Meet and Spin initiative for non-regular cyclists

Shannonside Cycling club, Athlone's local club, is commencing this initiative to help non-regular cyclists to get active on the bike.

It's called Meet and Spin (a sort of Couch to 50k series). It will start gently and build slowly to, hopefully, being able to ride 50k comfortably.

The initiative starts on Saturday next, February 21, at 9am, meeting at the Athlone Regional Sports Centre (swimming pool) car park and using the greenway for initial spins.

It will continue weekly at 9am each Saturday.

Organisers plan to host a sociable coffee stop halfway, each week. Experienced cyclists will be on hand to advise on cycling, bike set-ups, and basic repairs if needed, e.g. punctures along the way.
