Parents must attend..its not a creche !
that was an absolutely brilliant spin..so many super shredders and absolutely brilliant to see so many have improved over the Winter.
I cannot believe the improvements. I am going to get Lucas to start coaching Lynchy and Smithers. as for the girls..
I have to admit, it was hard going this morning out on my spin with the savages and feeling the Man flu on me and I wasn't motivated to go to Ballinastoe but I am so glad I did.
Its like I planted something small and its after growing into an intergalactic beast of a phenomenon !
I cannot get over the improved bikes, the improved to the power of long division in fitness, ability and even attitude.
What an amazing eye opener.
I've seen and heard some nasty goings on in the Mountainbike world since the Blast but todays spin in Ballinastoe makes it all go away.
Fair play to all the parents who came along and my incredible and beautiful assistants, Carol, Orla and Rasher !
If you saw what these kids can do folks you would be stunned.
Thanks folks, I needed that !

Great spin, the little ones are truly flying, the big group was also very impressive. Good to see such a big bunch out, Shona is wiped but really enjoyed it.
That was a deadly day. So many kids turned up from all ages, great to see this aul mountain biking is catching on for the young guns. Most kids inherit sports from ther parents. If your dad was into soccer, you played soccer or you played for your school because you got a half day so the more sports you played like gaelic football or basket ball the less time you spent in the class room. If they had mountain biking as a sport in school i would of definitely taken it up. Anyway the reason i say this is that the older kids myself orla and carol had today had meny sports to ther bow. They played all the sports indicated above and more what i am trying to say is expose your kids to more sports. Dont limit them because you think its dangerous. We had no injurys today and there were a lot of kids out.
I couldnt believe that for some of these kids it was ther first time up the mountains on a bike. Riping through balinastoe trails and natural trails and the lads we had were flyin. I was very impressed. I bring my son lucas and he's 3 cousin's mountain biking every sunday balinastoe or djouce they love it and we have a great laugh. Great to see so meny younger and older kids out and all havin a laugh.....Thanks Richie carol orla and all the parents for making the effort. The kids have more fun when a bigger group is out. So parents keep bringing the kids up to the mountains on ther bikes....
some funny characters in the gang as well..its fierce hard to refrain from my usual style of encouragement ! Can you believer they all rode the bottom half of the old Blast course ! what a gang of legends ! and Lucas can do the old Cyclocross run and jump on to the saddle, I can't even do that !
