Well folks we have decided to run a few club intro spins, these will be for anybody who would like to get out with us and see what a mtb group spin is all about. Any level of mtbers welcome, spins will be about 2.5 hours so a reasonable level of fitness would be required but we will try to keep everyone together. Would also be an ideal time for lapsed members or anybody who hasnt done alot for the past couple of months to get back into it. This is aimed more at being an adults spin, under 18s can attend but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
U must wear a helmet to take part.
A drink, some food and suitable clothing would he strongly advised to get the most out of these spins.
Well I think its fair to say that we had a successful first intro spin, massive thanks to all who turned up on a cracker of an evening. I make it thirteen new faces.
We had various abilities and lots of very competent riders who all came well prepared and everyone who showed up gave it 100% all they had on what was a techy spin with just enough climbing to make your legs scream. Any spin can be a challenge to keep together even with experienced riders and I gotta say I think all the Epic members that turned up this evening done the club proud, but a massive special thank you tio the Epic ladies who were absolutely outstanding with Caroline M who selflessly gave up her spin to lead the main group with Sarah holding the mid pack together while Tara and Rory leading the secound group out, having this type of back up makes keeping the spin together so much easier.
To everyone who showed up, thanks for getting stuck in, hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves and will return for the next couple of intro spins where we will mix it up a little. See you all next week, same time same place. Feel free to post up your feedback if you want.
Thanks all.

Yep - I think that was a roaring success ! Nice one Gary . Myself , Rory & Celine met up with Lawdie, Mal & Kieran halfway round who were showing the ropes to 2 newcomers - who were flying it. Great suggestion by Lawdie to go off trail down towards where ewoks used to be and newbies had no bother and they loved it . Then met up with the whole gang at the top of that so everyone finished together . Perfect planning ! And beautiful evening to top it all off and everyone pulled together to keep the show on the road!
