Midweek Hills Cycling Tues 20th and Thurs 22nd

Hi All

Usually rules apply.........

Tuesday 20th Harolds Cross Bridge at 6pm and then Yellow House at 615pm
A bit of a jump for this week as the light stays brighter for longer! 3 groups Slow group leader will hopefully be Tom back again and can decide on a slightly shorter route.

Suggested route will be:
Blue Light-Fox's-Devil's Elbow-Enniskerry-Wall-Djouce-Lugalla-Sally Gap-Featherbeds kom-Dublin. This is about 75/80km with 1400+m of climbing. It'll be 915/930 when we get back to Rathfarnam.
Bring Lights! It'll be getting dark coming off the featherbeds.

Thursday 22nd....something different! Meet at Harolds Cross Bridge at 615pm.
The majority of these roads are closed to cars.
Phoenix Park intervals. Basically using the lap of the Park which goes from Islandbridge Entrance-Kyber-Acres-Up the hill-Down into Furry Glen-out of Glen-SBends-Kyber. Lap is 10km with 3 hills and 100m of climbing. My plan is to 6 laps but the amount of laps you do is up to you! Idea is to take it extremely easy on the flat and and downhills and push up the intensity on the 3 uphills. If you're on strava you'll be able to track you times per hill and hopefully will improve as the night goes on. Brilliant training for endurance sportifs etc if you're looking to do a sportif anytime in Summer.
We'd normally do hills on Thursday but this is a once off for Thursday. All welcome. I can explain how to get the most out of it on the night. It's not possible to get dropped once we regroup after each hill so it's suitable for anyone who fancies a go.

Best of luck to all in Mount Leinster tomorrow...see ya all down there!
