LEISURE

We have a large non-competitive Leisure section to our club, with a wide range of abilities and interests.

The landscape around the south-west of Ireland, and Killarney in particular, is ideal for leisure cycling and some of our regular spins cover terrain that riders travel long distances to experience.

Unfortunatley we cannot accommodate visitors to Killarney on our leisure rides.

REGULAR GROUP SPINS

Sunday Leisure Spins: Our regular Sunday spins are divided into four groups, according to average speed. Check our Facebook page on Saturday (usually Friday evening) for notice of group spins on Sundays.

20-23 kph Group
23-25 kph Group
25-27 kph Group
27-30 kph Group

Note: All our club groups are “wait groups”. We ride together, we stay together, wait for everyone and make sure no one is left behind.

However, the onus is on all riders to join a group that matches their own cycling pace and ability.

LEADERSHIP OF GROUPS

Each leisure group has a co-ordinating Group Leader, assisted by ride Captains and almost all have Ride Leader training and certification from Cycling Ireland.

MENTORING PROGRAMME

The club runs a Mentoring Programme each year for adults who wish to get back into cycling or take it up more seriously. It is particularly suited to people who dream of completing the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle but feel they might not yet be ready for it.

THE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE SPORTIVE

The Three Peaks Challenge is our very popular local sportive, with all profits ploughed back into the club and local charities – see the Three Peaks Challenge page for more details.
