Hello, as a result of Facebook banter, myself, Max Van Der Lee and Adam Tarbo are going to run a Junior God spin in Djouce , Sunday week.
So If you are a junior or a really talented under16 or Under 14 XC rider /All Mountainer, from anywhere in Ireland and you want to ride with others of a similar age group, let me know, your parents can also come and join in !

richie.byrne(at)gmail.com, I have switched off my PMs except for people I know personally due to way too much fan mail !
11 years of age is as low as we'll go on this but they'll have to be Semi Pro style shredders and I will be counting on my good Buddy Alfie Wallace of EXPERT Cycles as back up !
Thanks Rasher !
Now folks, who hasn't got a pain in their backsides seeing middle aged men like Bob T Benchcut winning all the time, Mountainbiking is a young sport played by old farts mostly, thats bloody stupid and the complete lack of Irish Teenage participation just makes me mad, the Olympics has never been so physically close and nobody is going, that really makes me mad too !
Now is it baggies and big wide bar super awesome shredder fun machines .................
Or lycra shaved legs energy gels serious race machine spin ?????
i doubt its going to be too serious ill be wearing baggies and ill be on the only bike i have which is a race bike i suppose. there will most likely be a good bit of waiting for the younger riders anyway so its up to you really.
Exactly what Max said, Now, its bring whatever bike you want but we will not be taking on Alans silly trail this time.
The emphasis is on building a community of non elderly MTBers.
No single speeds
No DH Bikes.
I'd prefer everybody to be on XC bikes if possible, hardtails preferably.
We will be doing steep and gnarly stuff but I don't want people falling in to the lazy use of 6" full sussers.
Walking of any kind will also be frowned on.
the object is to do a spin everybody can do without walking up or down.
Pisspots are also discouraged. They are for dirt jumping or BMX. But if thats all you have, then fine.
Absolutely no DH helmets.
Anybody without gloves will be sent home.
Anybody without at least 1 Spare tube will be sent home.
This is not an xc training spin but neither is it some sort of gnarfest.
Some of you are better than you think and some of you think you are better than you are.
