'Show must go on' for Kings Moss Cycling Club

With Sunday morning club rides now being planned and hosted by a 'ride leader' from the club each week, Sunday's original 60-mile route was chosen by Club Chairman Tony Douglas.

And in another development, introduced due to the rising popularity of the cycling club and the welcome addition of new members, a 'B' route is being included on many Sunday morning runs for the benefit of beginners. This allows newer members to enjoy the majority of the main planned route with the help and support of an experienced Kings Moss cyclist.

The introduction of separate routes also allows the more experienced cyclists in the main group to begin to up their pace without causing difficulties for the beginners.

On Monday (February 1) members heard, at the club's monthly meeting, that plans for this year's major KMCC-hosted event- the May Fair Challenge - are making good progress, particularly as talks with the various outside organisations and authorities are going well.

The event will start from Ballyclare and is being held in aid of the Northern Ireland Children's Cancer Fund.

Those interested in joining Kings Moss are particularly welcome to come along to one of the Kings Moss Sunday morning rides, which leave the Square in Ballyclare at 10am and allow a chance for cyclists of a wide range of abilities to experience group cycling with the help and support of experienced teammembers.

Wednesday evening and Saturday morning rides are also held by Kings Moss. See the club website - www.kingsmosscyclingclub.co.uk - or speak to a member for details.

Kings Moss Cycling Club are sponsored by Greenacres Golf Centre. The club is affiliated to the Cyclists Touring Club.
