Development Squad with Paddy taking a breather by Blessington Lake

Report on Jan Training Camp

How lucky – our first training camp of 2008, and the sun came out! What a good start to the year! The Women’s Commission of Cycling Ireland, with the support of Women in Sport, have organised two Winter Training Camps for Women Cyclists of all abilities. The first camp took place last weekend, Jan 26th – 27th, and it was so encouraging to pull into the Avon Ri complex, in Blessington, on Saturday morning, to the sight of 55 girls assembling their bikes.

We would like to thank Antonia Rossiter from the NCTC, our coaches Paddy Doran, Scott McDonald, Aidan Hammond and Aidan Ryan. A special thanks goes to Scott for helping us run the event. We are particularly grateful to Mick Jordan – who provided each rider with a Power Bar goodie bag, and to Avon Ri complex – which provided a great venue for us.
