Cycle club launch Ring of Kerry mentoring programme
Local cyclists are so keen to help others taking to the road that they've launched the 'Couch to Ring of Kerry' mentoring programme.
An information session for people interested in joining the programme will be held on Monday next, April 11 at St Oliver's National School, Ballycasheen, where all will be explained. The programme will officially commence on Wednesday April 20.
You can also indicate your interest by messaging Killarney Cycling Club on their Facebook page.
Skills and experience
The aim of the 'Couch to Ring of Kerry' mentoring programme is to provide adults new to road cycling and those who have not cycled in years, an opportunity to gain skills and experience of cycling in a group on open road in a safe and enjoyable environment as a stepping stone to riding in the Ring of Kerry cycle itself.
A group of experienced Killarney Cycling Club cyclists will accompany participants on a once weekly cycle along a pre-planned route starting from a distance of 20km and building over the course of the 10 week programme to a distance of 80km.
All you need is a roadworthy bike, a cycling helmet and a willingness to have a go!
The first three spins are free, thereafter participants will need to join the Killarney Cycling Club.
