hi all
sorry about my no show last week but it couldn't be helped.
We're off to the leadmines once again; 7pm start time, same formant as before.
We're planning to change things a bit next week so make sure you get out this week to keep your momentum up. The only way to get better at mountain biking is to keep doing it!!
Fiona i'll bring mine along tonight for you to try out, they're the same as sylvias and she knows about this stuff
there's nothing like trying before you buy!
oh and i've 2 pairs of those shorts and they're great, we can compare waists later!
Thanks Shona :) This really is turning into a 'ladies' spin trying on clothes and all :) I defo need some new shorts though I wear them all year round on the bike and i think you can nearly see through them they've been worn so much!
Me and Shona both have these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=34199. I wear the XS and they are very comfy and have great protection. I wear them all the time on the bike, for both DH, DJ and XC and they never slip down my legs. If you like you can try on my set tonight.
I think Orla or Clodagh have the Sombrio shorts so they can tell you a bit better about the sizing as I know every brand has fluctuating sizing. If they don't fit, CRC let you send everything back and are great on returns. Other good brands for shorts that I have found are Fox, Kona, IXS, Loeka, RaceFace and Altura. If you wanted to get a cheapo set I got these ones: http://www.stif.co.uk/gear/select_op...6420&store=mtb The sizing was small on them so I would get a size up than normal.
Hi girls
Sorry I missed tonight, got talked into doing a duathlon in the Phoenix Park..this mid life crisis will have to stop soon so I can get back to doing normal things!! Is taking up mountain biking a 40 normal??
I'll be back out next Wednesday - these spins are a great idea:)
tonight was a great night, the weather dried up nicely and we had 5 ladies out tonight.we branched out a bit tonight and went down the new flowy track and lynchy09 which everyone enjoyed
It was great to see the improvement in everyone from the first week, these spins are all about little improvments from week to week.
I'm looking forward to next week already!!!
Sorry I missed it, but the auld exams got in the way!!!
Wouldnt mind but i was finished by 6:20 and had the bike with me but they wouldnt let me outta the exam hall!!! Not on at all!
Hopefully i can make it next week, see ye then ;D
Great spin once again-thanks Epic Ladies and thanks Shona for letting me try your shin guards-I am buying a pair on CRC right now! Hopefully see some of you out tomorrow in Djouce if not next Wed :)
Hi Girls!
Thanks to everyone for organising these spins I am really enjoying them. Sorry for being late last week and holding everyone up, i'll be hopefully avoiding the traffic and buses next week and arriving in Shona-time! which i am guessing translates as early :-) looking forward to it hope the sunny wednesday evening run keeps up!
Shona I will PM you my number so we can organise for next week. Thanks!
Fair play to Shona,Carol and Silvia for running these female orientated spins and hats off to the ladies who have been attending them. The 3 Girls have had several years now of MTB EPIC style biking and while its not for the fainthearted their reports of all you girls has been outstanding.
We have tried this several times before with varied success but we as a Club believe theres a huge potential in ladies out there so well done to all of you,
Richie
PS they get the being early from me, as i am obsessive about it !!! so blame me, not them!!
I mentioned to some of you last wed that Wheelworx are holding a series of 'FREE' bike maintenance workshops aimed at beginners. I checked it out and seems like its open to all. They will be held in their fonthill store. Have a goo at the below link for further details. You will also need to email wheelworx to book a place on the course.
