Red route will be added to the event later.
Orange have an 80km spin to Annamoe
Kilcoole, NMK, Callow Hill (3km @ 5%), Coffee at Roundwood and home
Yellow & White have 72km and less climbing to Blessington
Old Mill, Mt Seskin (3.7km @ 5.5%) Three Castles, Blessington, Russborough, Blessington
Home via Manor Kilbride, Butter Mountain (3.2km @ 2.6%) Ballinascorney (1.8km @ 3.6%)
As usual we need leaders for Yellow and White and it would be nice to see names that haven't lead already this year.

Orange route is a flat 80km - Lucan, Maynooth, Straffan, Kill, Rathcoole
Yellow and White have a short 64km to encourage New Year Resolutioners.
Out to Lucan, around Westmanstown, and back to Lucan for coffee at 33km.
(several coffee shops so should be easy to maintain social distance).
Home by Newcastle and Rathcoole.
(If the weather is bad this route is easily shortened to 55km by cutting out the Westmanstown loop - and stopping for coffee at Avoca Rathcoole)
Denis Gleeson & Bryan Johnston are rostered Yellow Leaders.
Kathryn Keogh is pencilled in to lead White.
RSVP on RWGPS to give us an idea of numbers.

The suggested routes should be OK - but leaders can adjust if necessary based on conditions in the morning.
There is a large signup for yellow - so it is likely that 2 more people will have to step up as leaders.
White has enough leaders this week.
12 Orange
Ronan Gill Paraic Morrissey
Greg Wilson Paul Kelly
Andrew Lomax David Mcnamara
Fran Brophy David Byrne
Gerry Kieran Robert Tully
Jose Morgado Billy Ryan

Thanks to Dennis and Bryan who have volunteered to lead
There are enough experienced riders signed up to provide additional leaders

Yellow and White have a lumpy 80km - Embankment, Saggart, Kilteel, BallymoreEustace, Russborugh House, Blessington, Manor Kilbride, Butter Mountain, Balinascorney.
This route can be easily shortened by turning left after Rathmore NS and going straight to Blessington.

Hi Joe I think it would be very helpful to always provide direct link to ridewithgps route. I'm never 100% sure which route is which and need to figure out each link. Simple linking would make it much easierOrange route is a 88km - Embankment, Brittas, Lacken, Valleymount, Blessington
Yellow and White have a lumpy 80km - Embankment, Saggart, Kilteel, BallymoreEustace, Russborugh House, Blessington, Manor Kilbride, Butter Mountain, Balinascorney.
