As the weather finally makes a turn for the better our Youths have a full slate of activities on over the next few weeks.
The bedrock is of course the Sunday Spins, usually leaving from Joe Dalys at 10:00. Here is a happy bunch last Sunday at The Hazel House café on Tibradden Lane - looking relaxed after the climb.
We are now into Week 3 of the Interclub League on Monday nights at Corkagh Park.
You can see from the top ten that there is a wide range of clubs, age and both genders well represented.
We have had 39 youths from 7 different clubs + some unattached come out at least once over the 3 weeks and new faces are welcome along any evening . There is a card of three activities for each age group each evening and it doesn’t matter if you have missed a few weeks. More details at Youth Flyer and full results at Full results.
Here are the Navan RC cyclists
There have been a few changes to calendar arising from the club winning the right to host the National Road Race championships and here are the plans for the next few weeks – the youth calendar spreadsheet linked from the website has also been updated.
