hi all
lately some of the senior ladies have been lamenting the small number of ladies mountain biking at the moment, as was pretty clear with the numbers at the race on Sunday.
So, we're proposing a series of ladies mountain spins run by the senior ladies for all levels of lady bikers, the only criteria we have is that you are serious about improving and are committed to turning up to at least 2 out of the initial 3 spins. (If these initial spins are a success and there is a demand we'll see about continuing them)
These spins are not for those who want to try it out and see, go on the clubs monthly beginners spins for this. We do expect a certain level of bike fitness but don't be put off these spins if you're very new, as long as you can cycle from your house to a shop, up a hill ;-), you'll be fine. We have planned a series of spins so that we can keep people's momentum and enthusiasm until they're confident to join the bigger spins or go out on their own.
So first spin is planned for Wednesday the 21st of April, meeting at Palmers pub in kilternan for a quick trip around the leadmines.
You will need an appropriate bike, helmet, gloves, water-bottle/camel-pack, spare tube and pump
pm me if you're interested or have any questions and please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested

if anyone is knocking around out there like me and wants to get fit again: I am planning on a few boring and slooow solo spins over the next few weeks,just to kinda start off with.... anyone welcome to join me
Hi Shona, This looks brilliant!! Good on you for getting the ball rolling. I have been to a few of the beginner spins and loved them. I hope to make it on Wednesday but I might have to work late. So fingers crossed the workload isnt too crazy and I will be able to make it.
To Nat: I would be interested in tagging along with you some evening. I have been very lazy since the cold cold winter and am looking to get out in the evenings! Drop me a PM next time you are heading out.
the next eejit that passes a comment in this thread not involved in it or going on it will get banned off the entire forum.
I have been trying for years to get something like this organised, Shona and Carol are looking after this for us, so cop on and act the eejit in the other posts !

I see Shona's post in their forum section too - great initiative using this specific site to promote women's MTB
I will be there too - looking forward to meeting all the ladies from the beginners spins again and the new ladies too. If anyone needs any spare helmets / gloves etc I can bring along.
