Guest repliedWell done caroline, sounds like everyone had a ball, I should be there next sat if not i'll text ya. Great to see so many girls out, I was only ever on one spin before where there was more girls than fellas out but as claire says it's nice to just have girls out so you don't have to chase the fellas in the distance!

Great job Caroline for taking the girls out, good to see so many were interested! Keep up the good work.
Got to prove this wrong:
".....Mountain Cycling is becoming more popular very quickly. This sport is for girls and boys but mainly boys." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_Ireland#Cycling)

That was a fantastic spin. Lots of ladies, lots of laughs and lots of fun! Massive thanks to Caroline for organising and thanks also to the rest of the Epic ladies for all the encouragement, hints, tips, tricks and most importantly of all, tasty jellies.
This really was a spin for everyone - it gently introduced total beginners to the trails and for those of us biking a little longer, it was great to take the trails at a slower speed, giving us a chance to carefully pick out lines. Normally I'm so busy trying to catch up with the guys disappearing on the horizon that I have no time to work on technique. If you're in the same situation, then this is the spin for you. In fact, even if you're completely amazing on a mountain bike, you should still come along, because it's great craic. :)
Well done to everyone who decided to give mountain biking a go on Saturday morning. See you at the next one!

Great stuff well done, might get my wifey to go out some time, last time she was on bench cut I knocked her down, she thought I'd stop and I reckoned she would step out of the way, I nearly killed her, no smiles that day for sure, she was only walking the poor thing

Well done Caroline for getting such a big group together. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. At the start it was all quiet as the nerves were showing, but as soon as we got going on the trails and a few falls, everyone relaxed and started to have some fun. Good banter and egging eachother on.

Smithers you don't give Anthea enough credit, she was deadly had no trouble with XTC. In fact most of the ladies where grand on it. It was great to see so many of you out and smiling by the end of it. Lisa gets the prize for biggest smiles, she really isn't used to being on a bike but plugged away with a smile on her face..
There were a few bewidlered faces after our first attempt on Sesame Street as everyone realised how hard mtn biking actually is, but by the end of it everyone was much more comfortable on their bikes and when we went around it again at the end everyone seemed much happier on it
well done everyone!

Well that was a great spin this morning. We had 18 girls out in total which is way more than i thought would come. We covered sesame st, xtc, son of bench cut, across the river into powerscourt, back up the earls drive and home. I was really impressed with everyone. You girls tried everything that we threw at you. We had a few spills and tumbles but everyone stood up smiling. I think over the 2 hours everyone made a bit of an improvement which is great to see. I think woman of the spin has to be Anthea......shes some animal!!!
Well done everyone and keep an eye on the forum for the next one.
Feel free to post up on the forum about the spin and how you think it went!
