People,
As the sportive and racing calendar draws to a close, its now time to think about getting your winter training bike out in anticipation of the annual Club Weekend Away. The date is Saturday October 20th, the destination is Gorey, Co. Wexford and you're going to cycle there and back – it will be tremendous fun! There is a 130km route (via N81/Tullow) and an 85/90km more direct route. Accommodation is in the 4* Ashdown Park Hotel.
Last winter the Orwell ‘Sunday Spins’ were run according to a system where cyclists were split into 4 groups, each which had a predetermined distance and average speed, it's going to be the same for the weekend away spin.
3 to 4 groups will set off from outside Joe Daly's shop on the morning of Sat Oct 20th, with average speed and distance options to suit all those from beginners to speedy pants ‘Men of the Rás’ types.
Your luggage will be transported directly to the hotel, I just haven’t quite figured out how yet.
To book your spot please ring the hotel directly on (053) 9480500, quoting the reference below, before 03/10/2012. The package is on a dinner, bed & breakfast basis:
Group reference: 007874
Rate: €89.00pps €79.00pps
Basis Dinner (3 course meal + tea/coffee @ 7.30pm), Bed & Breakfast

Deadline: 03/10/2012

Not only did Anne organise all this, but went on to argue the hotel into a further discount, for a final price of €79.00! That saving of €10 will come in handy buying Anne a pint on Friday September 21st in Against the Grain. ATG is located on the town end of Camden Street, and offers a very nice selection of beers and wines. A night to celebrate finishing a successful season, or drowning your sorrows after ending up in the fail group time after time after time. See you there!
