Bill, the guy we have employed is bringing the watt bike with him and will set up in a room in Kildavin GAA. We will have a retest after a few months, once you put some of the training that Jonathan recommends, so we hope this interests you and many others.

To this end, here is a questionnaire that will help inform Jonathan and also force us all to evaluate the time we spend vs time we intend to spend on biking next year. So hopefully all of us will spend some time planning our 2015 training, over the next few weeks and we would hope that many of you will sign up for this training weekend. Once, you have decided that this is for you, please fill in the questionnaire below.
