South East Road Club

Barrow Wheelers will stage the first Sportive in the South East of the 2012 season.

29/1/2012

The route will follow last years route, towards Waterford and on up through south Kilkenny. The event will start at 10am, Sign on 9am onwards and finish in the Geraldine O Hanrahan GAA grounds on the outskirts of New Ross.

To get to the start take the ring road around New Ross and if coming from a northern direction follow the N30 up hill until you get to A Topaz Filling station on your left and take an immediate left turn. The start is on your right hand side. If coming from a southern direction again Take the N30 and go through a set of traffic lights and when you see a Topaz garage on your right take the turn off before the junction to the start. There is ample parking and showers as well as refreshments provided before and after the event.

We are holding a registration night in the Arklow Bay Hotel on Friday Jan 27th from 7:30 to 9 pm.Membership remains unchanged this year but Cycling Ireland fees are up  €5  .We STRONGLY advise All members to take out a Cycling Ireland license even if only touring.By allowing unlicensed,uninsured riders to partake in organised club events we are leaving the club wide open to the risk of litigation in the event of accident or injury to a third party.Our advice from Cycling Ireland is that a club policy should be in place that allows riders to take part in club events (non racing ) for 2 weeks on an introductory basis but they then must become club members and take out the relevent licence.Once club membership is paid members are free to apply for their Cycling Ireland licenses and once the application is vetted they can proceed to pay online.We hope to have the facility to complete all transactions on the night so dont forget ur credit cards…

This is the last call for all interested in going to Kilkenny for the night on Feb 25th… Please have all your monies paid to either myself (derek) or Jacki by next friday (20th) to be sure of a spot…

Its a great night and full back up service car with luggage is provided…all ya need is money for drink and entry fees to nigthclubs and bail money….

cheers

Gerry Hanratty (Club Chairman)
Gerry proposed that a less experienced rider should cycle with a more experienced rider ie someone who is more accustomed riding in groups. This is for their mutual benefit. It was also suggested that everyone try their best to wear club colours.
