As numbers fall off during the Winter we will stick with the traditional Sunday format.
Dispatch will be from the Old Shopping Centre Car Park in Dundrum
Red groups leave at 09:00
Orange groups leave at 09:10
Yellow groups leave at 09:20
White groups leave at 09:30
As usual we will are looking for volunteers to lead white and yellow spins. The intent is that volunteers would each lead one spin before Christmas and one spin in the New Year.
If you are willing to lead a spin can you RSVP to one of these events on RWGPS

Using a browser on a PC you will see it in the Files section on the right hand side of the screen.
Using a phone you will need to scroll to the Files section at the bottom of the Orwell Wheelers webpage.
Many thanks to those who volunteered to lead Winter spins. I have rostered them for rides before Christmas.
After Christmas I have rostered people who took part in Summer spins and had volunteered to lead in the survey run last May.

Bryan will organise to have a dispatcher on the morning to break people into groups.
Saturday would be a good day to
- check your brakes
- check your tyres
- ensure you have 2tubes, gas and a pump ready to carry on the ride

White & Yellow have a nice 70km to Dunboyne with minimal elevation.
(Orange riders will determine their own route)
If you intend to ride this weekend then please RSVP on RWGPS.
That way we will know how many to expect.
Im traveling next week with limited connectivity so I won’t be assigning riders to leaders for now.

The goal of of these spins is steady, Z2, pre-season miles in a well-drilled group. No half-wheeling and no blowing the group up on the hills.

That way - after a while - I have a library of RED appropriate routes.
(I have no idea what is appropriate for reds)
Let me know if you want me to add an event so people can register/express interest.
- and I can give you a heads up on Fri/Sat as to how many you might expect.
That may be overkill for RED groups with modest numbers.
For Reds (and Oranges) which should do whatever works / makes sense.
I'll go along with whatever you suggest.
(Yellow and White typically have bigger numbes - and so more structure is required)
