{jcomments on}Hello all. The route I’m suggesting this week can be shortened by going straight to Athy from Kildangan if weather conditions are poor. Otherwise, it’s fairly flat except for the slight drag out of Stradbally.  I will not be out this week (nor will Joe) so a captain will need to be agreed on the day to keep an eye on things.
As this is my last week as group captain, I’d like to thank everyone who made the spins over the year so enjoyable. I think we managed to achieve the aims of the group charter for the most part and I’m sure the next captain can improve on the work done already.  Special thanks to Joe for his support as vice-captain.{jcomments off}
