The club members - and friends were unable take to the saddle on Sunday 20th December on our Annual Charity Cycle - due to the very inclement weather. Club secretary John Greene, in consultation with the Chairman and Group leader decided that safety was the first priority and that the road conditions were anything but suitable for this spin. However we hope to have this spin before the Christmas holiday season is over - so keep in training - on the rollers if necessary!

The spin this year is in aid of Cregg House. This traditional cycle takes place around Lough Gill (about 40k) with the obligatory rest-stop for sustenance in Dromahair.

Instead of finishing as usual at Sligo IT we take a small detour to Thomas Connolly's pub (See our sponsors) and here popular club man Gerry Nicholson plays host to the membership with the aid of a few hot ones and some mince pies and Pam's chocolate cake.

Usually following this most members are collected and the bikes dispatched to the sheds for a few days (or in some cases for a few weeks) and the years cycling is recalled and many members plan their next years racing and sportive challenges here also.
