Winter Spins 2021-22

Events for Red, Orange, Yellow and White Winter Spins on 17-Oct are posted on RWGPS

Red & Orange will decide their own route

Yellow & White have a flat 75km to Maynooth via Lucan.
(Home through Celbridge and Rathcoole)

If you intend to ride this weekend then please RSVP on RWGPS. 
That way we will know how many to expect on Sunday morning.
 

The Red Spin will take the same route as the Orange spin this week:

On the vexed theological question of the coffee stop, I think I have arrived at an ecumenical solution of having an optional coffee stop in the latter third of the spin. That way people don't have too far to get home in a reduced group. 

I have discussed this matter with Brother Greene, the self-appointed ring leader of the coffee stop sect and he seems amenable to the compromise. 

Signups as of 17:30 on Friday are below
11 Orange, 32 Yellow, 17 White

Remember, if you answer YES to any of these questions you should not attend a Sunday spin

1. Are you currently diagnosed with or believe you may have COVID-19?
2. Have you had any of these symptoms of COVID-19 in the past 14 days?
→ High temperature (fever)?

3. Have you been in contact with a COVID-19 confirmed or suspect case in the previous 14 days?
4. Have you visited or stayed in a closed environment with anyone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days?

To mix things up a little before the weekend away
I have created 2 events for each of White, Yellow & Orange
(Im not going to risk classifying people at race pace).

The naming should be fairly obvious

Winter Sunday Red 31 Oct

Winter Sunday Fast Orange 31 Oct
Winter Sunday Steady Orange 31 Oct

Winter Sunday Regular Yellow 31 Oct
Winter Sunday Mellow Yellow 31 Oct

Winter Sunday White Knuckles 31 Oct
Winter Sunday Snow Whites 31 Oct

The idea is to get people to identify roughly where the sit within a colour
This may help the dispatcher on Sunday morning

Please sign up for the group that matches the pace you would like to ride at

With so many people away, there will be no formal spins on the weekend of 7th Nov
Normal service (one event per colour) will resume on 14th Nov

Route for Sunday's Red spin is a slightly extended version of the route the other groups are taking
ridewithgps.com/routes/37894347

Signups as of 9pm on Friday are below
7 Orange, 16 Yellow, 10 Step up to Yellow,  6 White
(after withdrawals removed)

Remember, if you answer YES to any of the usual COVID  questions you should not attend a Sunday spin
and dont forget that the clocks go back
