While other beverages claim to be the before, during, and after sports hydrator, we don’t. Sure, Vita Coco is stacked with potassium, and is as natural as natural gets (some say it’s like putting a straw in a coconut). Vita Coco is about hydration. And hydration is important no matter what you do. It’s okay if you’re not a marathon runner, a football player or a Tour de France winner. Life is hectic enough, and you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport.

1st Wicklow 200?

If this Wicklow 200 is your first cycling adventure, there's no need to feel intimidated or nervous. Just relax and most importantly take it at your own pace.
Train at your pace and intensity and remember recovery between sessions is as important as the training itself.
Don't do two high intensity sessions on consecutive days. If possible fit in a low intensity session between the two high intensity sessions. This gives your body time to recover between sessions. It is this repair process that helps you to improve your performance. Many riders started on the Wicklow 200 and went on to become truly hooked on the sport.
The Wicklow 200 is famous for the range of ages and abilities that take part. From beginners to ex-pros it's the fun and the challenge that keeps them coming back.

" I'm doing 200km on a Dublin bike"
Hi All,
Do we see a little bit of sun appearing on the horizon? How is the training going and are you on target to achieve your goal for the Wicklow 200/100.

While you are thinking about it, spare a thought for Richard Oakley who is the Editor of the Sunday Section, The Sunday Times Newspaper in Ireland, he has set a goal for to be the first person to complete the Wicklow 200 circuit on a standard Dublin City hire bike. He is being sponsored by Dublin City for the bike, on the condition that he does not make any changes to it. Richard is not very long at cycling and has only been training for the past 6 weeks and with help from Sports Med Ireland (sportsmedireland.ie) is getting up to speed, we wish him well in the event, which he is doing for Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin. If you our your friends would like to sponsor Richard all you need do is log on to the official website hosted by Our Lady's Children's Hospital. Visit cmrf.org/sponsorshipPage/show/1026. Watch out for Richard on the day and cheer him along the way.

It's hard to believe that it's only 4 weeks to go to the event and we have to remind you that entries close next Friday 18th May, enter now and don't be caught out.

Kind regards,
Admin Team
