    If you're in Carlow, I'd recommend hooking up with Carlow Road Cycling Club, they've beginners spins on Sunday Mornings (I know I watch the fookers coming back through the window at work). This worked best for me with my club in Kilkenny.

    If you're ever interested in a spin let me know, my days off are during the week usually. I have monthly train ticket to Carlow so no worries (although I'd probably cycle up anyway.

    Training plans need to be tailored to the individual and to their goals. What level are you at, and what do you want to do?

    At this time of year most of us are just trying to hang on to whatever form we've build over the summer and get through to the winter without getting burnt out or browned off... then it'll be a matter of building a base for next year. If you start a program in earnest now you run the risk of being in shape by the time it snows in January and then trying (and failing probably) to hold on to that through the spring.

    If it's a new bike and you're new to cycling I'd say just go ride it. Explore the surrounds, find some nice routes and like minded folks to ride with. Just enjoy it. Leave the organised training for a bit.

    Nothing competive yet. Am aiming to complete my first try next spring and want to just get my fitness up, followed by speed over 20k
