Road Spin The Park - Ninja training - 29th April

[Martin]

Meeting whites gate. 7.30 pm for laps of the Triangle in the Park until its dark I guess. As its a triangle of about 3.5km all levels welcome and you can go as fast or slow as you want! All the usual gear for mtb required for the road bike (pump,tubes and lycra.....)


Again if your late or early just start/join in the laps!

[Martin]

ps if anyone has a map of the triangle put it up! its the route for the triathlon and duathalons in the park :- its Furze Road - Chesterfield Road and Ordnance Road.

it is if you do it once, but if you do it 10 or 15 times its a fair bit! (besides being dizzy)


the problem with the big 10km lap is the amount of traffic in the park lately! but its only a suggestion!


u coming Liam?

I use the main 10k loop a fair amount after work and never really have any problems with traffic. It gets a little congested at the Palmerstown gate side because of the flood defence improvements but the rest is grand.


I normally lap the 10k loop in about 20 mins so three or four of these and you get a good work out on a road bike.

not that I'm into road biking, but would taylors to the aerials and repeat xLots, not be better

and its all tarmac I promise


even better, what about some upper body work.. trail building ;)

[Martin]

would love to Graham, but living on the DNS (de northside) can be hard to get over there in the eve! but it would be worth it..

[diamondG]

fair point, the very reason that I've never been to the park, the dreaded traffic

[ciaranc]

I just don't have a car ;)
