Monday 26th March 6.45 Palmers for s4/s3 style people

Like it says on the top there kids ..

Looking forward to it but might have to catchup depending on how soon I can get off work. You doing 3 rock via barnasliggan climb? Hopefully get there on time

no, we are going up Kilteger and then down to the old texaco garage and up Barnaslingan from there ..

see ya there, ps. thanks for pushing me on at that 2nd lap, thought i was gonna drop with the heat:-)

Early work exit permitting, I'll be there too

where were you today you steamrod !

Parental duties......I absolutely wanted to be there

Sorry, I'm not going to make it this evening... I know, I know.

Hi all, Clare will be along... be kind... actually give her hell!!

I'll be there for sure, am out of the office

thanks for a great spin Ritchie et al, motivation up the hills well needed, thanks. Sorry we missed you at the end but Dermo and I headed up, looks like you guys headed down. Hope to see you all again next week. Aine apologies again for bumping you into a tree hope your knee is OK.

yeah great spin, deadly little group, Dermo is the king of S4, fair play to Claire , Aine and Carol, we ripped that place to bits tonight, I was very surprised by Gary on the descents, I found another Smithers ...!
Just remember folks that all those Superstars you see from EPIC lined up at a race , they all came from me booting them up the arse and showing them The Way..keep coming back and you will all be deadly. Lets see a few more at these, its free Coaching..and no matter how deadly you think you are..I'm deadlier !! I think its also fair to say that a 29'er is as good on the singletrack as anything..feckin no bother at all..I think it suits me..I love it, I want to ride it all the time, its like learning to ride all over again !!

Ritchie You're far too kind, sure gravity was doing most of the work on the descents anyway. That Anthem x 29er you had out tonight was a thing of beauty, and seemed no bother at all through the tight stuff, having said that not sure a lesser pilot would make it look so easy. I definitely think we'll be seeing a few more 29ers springing up especially if the likes of Schuter, Stander, Kulhavy and Sauser (and Byrner) keep going the way they are. Stander placed second in the xco (behind Schuter on a 650B but that's another kettle od fish), and he and Sauser won the prologue and I think stage 1 of the Epic. Both very different races, both on 29ers

Gary don't be silly, I think I was moaning more that richie had us going up a rotten hill again, after the best descent ever!!! It was a great wee group and a fab evening, looking forward to next one:-) Thanks richie!
