People of all cycling abilities and experience levels are welcome, and joining the club is easy! Just send an email to committee@lucancrc.ie or send a message to the LCRC Facebook page. Briefly detail your cycling experience: None, Some individual rides, Regular rides, Regular group rides, Very experienced, Racer etc.
A committee member will get back to you, usually pointing you to a starter group for an initial ride, or to one of the other groups as appropriate.
After two trial spins to see if you enjoy it and if you wish to proceed, you will then be asked to join the club and Cycling Ireland (CI) via www.cyclingireland.ie. The annual adult membership fee is currently €50 with a basic CI membership costing the same. For under 18s membership is free with a €50 CI fee. For under 16s the club will cover the CI fee.
It is important to join CI as this provides you with insurance cover, details of which can be found on the CI website.
Starting equipment needed: A functioning road bike together with cycling shorts or bottoms, cycling shoes or trainers, and weather appropriate tops. Most importantly you will need a cycling helmet. Other specialised cycling gear can come later.
