Cycling Buddy / Cycling Club around Saggart Area

JLarsen

Hi all,

Per the title, I'm looking for a cycling buddy, or to join a cycling club in the Saggart area.

I haven't cycled since September and I need to get back on the bike and get back to my previous fitness level, and lose a few kg's in the process.
I'm aiming for 20-30km a couple times a week during week days, and maybe 60-100km a couple times a month on weekends.

Any interest let me know, or if you can point me to a local cycling club, that would be much appreciated also :-)

Not sure if it is what you are after, but some people leave from Cycle Super Store on Saturday mornings. They are on FBI Book.

Having just looked, they may just have started a club too, Tallaght Wheelers?

Might be worth a punt for the weekend spins!

Tallaght wheelers new club set up. Leave cycle superstore at 9 on Saturday . Try to cater for all levels. 3 groups went out last week. 50km 85km and 110km

Clondalkin Cycling club have easy Tuesday and Thursday spins leaving from the SDCC offices in Clondalkin village - only down the road from you. There is an easy group on the Sunday spins too. You'd be more than welcome. Am a member

Thanks all for the info, I'll check out both Clondalkin CC and Tallaght Wheelers.

I've the bike at the shop this week, prepping it for the cycling season.
I'll try and see if I can join this Saturday and Sunday, and then Tues/Thurs next week.

Any idea what time Clondalkin CC sets out on Tues/Thurs ?

Usher Irish Road Club would be your most obvious club from a Geographical/proximity point of view. Meeting point is the centre of Newcastle village there just a couple of k from Saggart.

Thanks for that one, I'll certainly follow up on that also.
