A friendly, leisurely group ride for those both returning to cycling or keen to join a group spin for the first time. 

Maybe you’ve been out cycling on your own and passing groups of cyclists chatting away and thought it looked fun without knowing how to join in or get started? Or maybe you used to regularly group ride and are now out of the habit?

If so the SSCC ‘Meet & Spin’ cycles may be just the thing: a gentle ride up the Greenway as far as Moate for a coffee and a bit of a social (with the club buying the coffee!) before returning to Athlone. Time on the bike will be under an hour each way, and all in the company of experienced cyclists keen to advise and encourage and able to deal with any mechanicals you might suffer.

As confidence and fitness grow the rides will get a little longer culminating after 6 weeks, for any that fancy it, in the club’s annual Tour of the Heartlands short route through the lanes of Westmeath and along the Grand Canal in May; or to move on to another club ride group that suits your pace and goals.

If that appeals then please just turn up to the Athlone Regional Sports Centre for 9am on any Saturday from 21^st of February.
