There are White, Yellow, Orange and Red spins listed at
ridewithgps.com/organizations/4124-orwell-wheelers/events
right up to and including 28 Nov.
Are you signed up to the club RWGPS facility? As a club member you're entitled to; I can't remember the details of how you do it, but I know it's simple (I did it when it was introduced by the splendid Joe Fitz).

We very much appreciate that sport has not been impacted by recent Govt annoucements.
Cycling activities can continue with some minor guidelines remaining in place:
For Sunday Spins
The nominated dispatcher needs to record the name of each group leader, number of members in each group and remind the group leader to register the spin on the Cycling Ireland registration system. The names of the group leaders and group size numbers should be e-mailed by the dispatcher to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Group leaders must register the date, spin details, and names of all members who participated in the club spin they lead and send confirmation email they receive from Cycling Ireland to

Cycling activities can continue with some minor guidelines remaining in place:
- All club spins must be registered on the Cycling Ireland registration system.

Joe
Do you have a link to the registration system you are referring to above?
I'm using ciclosed.eventmaster.ie/reservation.html but it only accepts registration for future events. I'm trying to register Sundays (21st) Orange cycle.
The link included in the help document here www.cyclingireland.ie/downloads/tracingapp-instructions.pdf is not working.
Thanks
Paul

Paul
As you say - this link should allow you create an event
ciclosed.eventmaster.ie/reservation.html
You are probably supposed to register people on (or before) the day.
In the spirit of malicious compliance I would suggest you use the first date available
If we have to contact trace we will know it was a Sunday spin - and work back to 21st.
Regards
Joe

While the forecast for Sunday looks a bit nippy, remember
There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.
The routes stay low, so should be OK - but leaders should be prepared to vary them as required.
The Yellow/White route to Sallins is designed with a simple shortening option:
At 24.5km stay straight on the L60001
Pickup the route again near the N7
Then get coffee in Rathcoole (33km)
Shortens the route to about 54km
Red group(s) depart at 09:00 - Dispatch: Dick O'Brien
Orange group(s) depart at 09:10 - Dispatch: Eamon Eaton
Yellow groups departs at 09:20 - Dispatch: Tom Gurrie
White group(s) depart at 09:30 - Dispatch/Lead: Frances Conway & Peter McGrath

Spins for this this weekend are open on RWGPS
Red route will be added to the event later.
The Orange plan is 88km out via Embankment, Brittas, Lacken, Valleymount. Coffee at Russborough or Blessington and home. (This route would suit climacophobic Yellows).
Following last week’s flat spin, This week Yellow & White have a bit of ascent. 71km via Enniskerry and Old Long Hill to Roundwood. Then across to NMK, Greystones and home. Coffee at NewtownMountKennedy (or Roundwood and straight home for a slightly shorter version)

Looks like I won't be around this Sunday. Here's the route I'd been planning on doing for Red:
www.strava.com/routes/2901140302113052756
I gather there's a few takers for it already.
