Weather: Early frost and fog soon clearing. Mostly dry, if rather cloudy weather, with just occasional sunny breaks.
Moderate southeast to easterly winds, will increase fresh, especially in more southern parts of the country where there is the
risk of the odd errant shower blowing on to coasts. Highest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees, best along southern coasts.
It'll be cold and breezy overnight, with a mix of cloudy periods and clear spells. Lowest temperatures minus 1 to plus 2 degrees,
with frost forming locally, under any cloud breaks. ( www.met.ie )


Enjoy,
Owen

Folks,

Aidan has been in touch to say that he is going to reschedule the Hill climb to January.

He will be out tomorrow with his coaching crew, but there will be no major climbs.

So you can still go in the beer tonight & do the cycle tomorrow

A very good coached session this morning with Michelle Hammond. Thanks for organising.
