    I can answer any questions you have about Swordscc

    Had a look at the Swords CC weekend spins and they must be the most comprehensive in Dublin. Something there to suit everyone. Along with Orwell they must be the biggest club in the city. Pity it's just a little bit far out.

    Thought that did reflect the club standard:confused:

    Anyway rather he slags the chairman of McNally Swords than the mods around here

    Lusk_Doyle, I am sure the club would welcome you back, but you will need to start riding a bike again (and then can start joining our beginner spins led by said chairman - it will give you a chance to rebuild the relationship and learn a bit about riding in a group):pac:

    What shade is the blue on the latest jersey?
    It's Pantone 285 (RGB 0, 114, 206, or HEX #0072ce).

    Dunno about Swords, heard stories about members giving themselves nicknames like the Gruffalo ;)

    Thanks for this, it's certainly the closest club for convenience sake. What distance are the Sunday touring spins?

    Touring group probably no more than 60-70km, at maybe 22-23kph... can be slow enough for anyone relatively fit.

    Ah right, the B group must be better so. Presume they would be 80k at around 25-26kph average?

    I'm sort of in the same boat myself. I'm right beside Dublin wheelers but happen upon Clontarf and Swords groups when I'm out.

    I do like the solitude too however and fear I'd be the person who causes a group to have an incident
    maybe we need a 'lone warriors' cycling club. for people who don't like cycling in groups. it'd be like a really widely spaced time trial when we go out for a club spin.

    you'd have drivers complaining about having to overtake a bunch of cyclists strung out into a 2km long 'peloton'.
