Hungary 2010 - Information Night

I'm hearing a lot of talk back from members hesitating about joining Trilogys Hungary Tour 2010. It seems that while there is a lot of interest, there is also a lot of questions and doubt about qualifying, what would be involved, the costs, etc.

And so I decided the best thing to do would be to hold an information night about racing for Ireland next year. Topics I will cover include:

"Debunking Qualification - the average plodders guide to racing in green"
"How to ensure you don't qualify - 5 simple mistakes that will leave you out of the team"
"What happens at the Worlds - A tale from Down Under"
"Paying for it all - without overtraining your wallet"
"The logistics - or Karl's best guess for now"
"other considerations - Athlone, Peaking in time, etc"
"How do I order a beer in Hungarian and All Your Other Questions Answered"
"Over to you - What you need to next"


The details are - Portlaoise Leisure Centre, Thursday week 29 October, starting 8:00pm. Please note, we will need to be out of the centre by 9:30pm, so I would like to start on time.

National Trails day this Sunday

I hope you have your bikes in good working order for National Trails Day this Sunday, 4th October. The event starts at 11:00am in Emo Court - register at the main car park. There are three different bike routes - one suitable for kids, one for family groups and one larger route of approx. 7 miles that you can repeat as often as you like. Road bikes are fine as all routes are on road/tarmac in the environs of Emo.

Thanks to Trish and Mary for volunteering to help out on the day. I need four more people - but if you volunteer you can do so on your bike and get your excercise in anyway. If you are free to help out then please let me know on 087 9290642. To help out on the day you need to be at the main Car Park in Emo at 10:30am and should be finished on time for a Sunday roast!

For those who prefer to walk (or even run) there will also be a sli na slainte route.

So get yourself, your kids, your partner and your entire extended family to the Emo Court on Sunday morning. National Trails day is a country wide event but the Emo cycle and walk is being promoted by Laois Sports Partnership - who have and continue to be very supportive of Trilogy!!!


If you can go, remember wear your Trilogy bike jacket this Sunday.

Thanks a million

Chirunning

Hi All.

Would any member be interested in doing a Chirunning workshop with Catherina McKiernan. I have spoken to Catherina and it would take a full day from 10am-6pm, the most that can go on workshop is 14 and the cost would be €100 for the day. I have spoken to Trilogy and have asked if they would be able to subsidise the cost and I will have an answer in the next few days. If any member interested please contact me with a €50 deposit. It is hoped to hold it over the weekend 7th & 8th of November if we have the number. See links below for any other questions.
