That's a great offer Richie... I'll be trying to kick a few of the adventure racers types in your general direction.
thanks richie for giving up your time to do this . hopefully i get out to one of these !
Sounds interesting, wouldn't mind taking you up on that, cheers for making yourself available richie.

I remember last spin I asked you how to ride off camber roots and you replied with 'Just ride them you tool'. Don't miss out on a chance to get such insightful comments on your technique everybody! :P

Andy , that was having the craic on a spin. These sessions will be official Coaching sessions with a structure and it'll be proffessionally done , i'll still entertain you, but I coached several people lst year and they benefitted greatly, look atthe improvements in RichardL and Shona.

I got a great buzz on Sunday on the 2nd lap when some fit young fella (from MAD!) came flying up the fire road behind me and I managed to mutter "go on get past me" and the reply came "there's no point you're much better technically then I am .... you'll be all over me in the single-track"! I nearly fell off the bike with the shock ... but he was right ... I never saw him again! Very much due to "help and encouragement" from Coach Byrne! A session on those bloody drainage gaps on The Wicklow Way would be great Richie?

I passed you on the fire road and heard you muttering repeatedly "you're much better technically", but don't think that was my response!
right..
heres the deal, stop hyjacking this one.
If you are genuinely interested , email me. I'm looking at a session this Saturday at Carrickollogan ( Leadmines ) at 2.00.
2 Hours - €20 for the 2 hours.
For that i'll assess your riding , look at your bike set up, give you some tips and point you in the right direction.
Email me if you're interested in this or future training.

Thanks Terry,
I am in the process of setting up a Blog/Website. But I intend to use this to introduce , develop and improve riders who don't just want to race but get the most out of riding their mountainbiking.
Richie
I would do a Saturday morning but not this week or next. I have other Commitments.
I'b be interested in doing this, prob Intermediate level. Please let me know where/when your first intermediate session will be on a Saturday morning & sign me up! Cheers, Greg
