Yesterday, the first Ride Leader Casual Cycling session started in Monasterevin, led by two recently trained Cycling Ireland leaders, Dennis and Cath.

The meeting point for the first puting was at Monasterevin's SuperValu.

Dennis and Cath led the group out from Monasterevin to Fishermans on this route over 10 km.

It was a really perfect evening for a cycle in our beautiful counties of Kildare and Laois, and the group bumped into another cycling group on the route.
