club spins

Hi
Myself and few friends are interested in joining your mountain bike club. Just wondering do you do club spins on sunday mornings for novice/intermediate range? (we are more interested in the keep fit/sunday trips element rather than competitive racing)
What is involved in joining the club as cant seem to find any details on website.
Thanks
Regards
Jason

Hi Jason..I will answer this for you and the many others who have asked about joining EPICmtb.
We run various spins..Tuesday.Thursday ,Saturdays and Sundays but they can only be found in the Members section due to the ban on MTB in most areas.
We don't really accomadate novices and beginners any more I'm afraid, the emphasis we have is on racing.
We have 95 members and I'd say half of them are useless passengers.
So I'd say 2012 will see a huge reduction in members but occasionally we run Social spins for people who would like to try us and if we like them.
To be honest though, to be in EPIC, you have to impress me.
We run the very best spins in the World without a doubt but to get to do them from now on people have to be as dedicated as me.
If you can convince me that you would be a worthwhile addition to EPIC by all means tag along on a social spin.
The next one is St Stephens day 10.00 at Palmers in Kilternan.
MAD at www.madmtb,com are probably more what you want, they run a spring and Autumn series for beginners and its probably safe to say they cater for both serious racers and general mtbers.

Thats a short,no messing,to the point post!Sums up Epic MTB very well!!

well like it or not, thems the facts. All the committed members in EPIC are all racers. We kind of started as a non racing club but once I realised how deadly Damo and Alfie were, that idea went out the window.
You join EPIC to get better, if thats what you want , then let me know, but remember I am a bollix and I expect high standards. I like uniforms, red meat. dirty women, Satanism, Adolf Hitler and various raving menaces.
So I may not be everybodies cup of tea !

I believe Jason didnt mention anything about being a novice or beginner.Mabe you should have asked that question before assuming it is his 1st day out...

it certainly doesnt look like you want any possible members judging from your response...

Eoin

Not that I care but...

Just sayin

Hold on a minute..
The man did say he was looking for Novice to Intermediate spins and we are always looking for potential members and I gave the option of coming on a Social spin.
This is EPIC, if you have been on this site any length of time you'll get it.
Be very careful what you assume on here..

....love it!....

Richie's bark is worse than his bite , Richie is tough but fair and great crack give the social spin a go you have nothing to loose but an adventure to gain.......Bang and i should be writing for bord failte

Oh God,another loser who cant read posts!!Well if jason is the mtb God that you think he is ,answer us this eoin,why was jason asking about keep fit spins,rather than savage hard racing training spins???We here in Epic do want new members,members who are prepared to do 3 hard spins a week,every week.So that they will get results in the NPS etc.Eoin,Im sorry to say you sound like a bedwetter,may I suggest you stick to posting here....

ps Jason,is eoin a friend off yours,or just some kind of sad stalker???

good man Mick, I just fell off the sofa..ye legend !!

Are they testing new drugs on you there in Swords Micky? you probably look like Ivan Drago now... :D

Maxi,I wouldnt even take an Anadin,never mind any drugs!!Plus I dont know who I Drago is????But I know 1 thing,as you do too,being in Epic means racing,it means training hard so you can go racing,it means trying as hard as you can,till you feel like puking,on a Tues savage spin,then you get dropped,and face the road from from Enniskerry on youre own.Then coming back the following Tuesday,and the same happens again,and repeat till on some random Tuesday you stick with the group and finish with them.I've done it,loads of other Epic members have done it too,but we all have stuck at it till we got to the goal of finishing with you,Alf,Damo,Doris etc etc. Thats what I love about Epic,a poxy 40 yr old goober,who has'nt done any fitness in over 2 decades,whether on a bike or whatever,can with a bit of focus,follow Richie's training programme and become a proper MTB'er,enter race's and do half good.
If people want to mess around on their bikes well and good,but Epic is'nt really the place for them.

I know now this is not the club for us form one polite post to this.And Eion is a friend of mine by the way .
Nice to know miky is still the same as he was in the the rs club. Hope your not sticking stickers on your bike as u did with 1.4l escort calling it an rs.
