MTB Beginners Course - Week 3
The MAD Beginners course continues this week with a ride around the Leadmines where we have some nice challenges lined up for you. With the way people are progressing I think everyone will manage just fine. The tech session will cover headset and V-brake adjustments. We'll meet at the Barnaslingan car park at 10am and ride for about two hours. Everyone is welcome to come along.

amazing weather for the spin today eh?
really enjoyed that difficult techy/rocky descent off Catty/Kitty Gallaghers - great fun
Well done to Nigel who cleared the whole ascent 3rd time lucky - a really tough climb, congrats also to Donn who nailed it 'no-dabs' style the whole way from the top down the backside of the hill- excellent going!!
Lisa and Ronan also did well on the descent - I'm sure they're hungry to do it all the way from the top next time!! ...then that drop off in the forest-I just couldn't let it go by without giving it a shot, I must have had Blast fever, you'd think that I'd have stopped after I (just about) nailed it the first time! Hopefully Ronan can send the footage around for all to have a good laugh at!!
PS:Big thanks to Tom for the encouragement "Ah you'll do that alright Fergal" I was trying my best to detect a sarcastic tone...

Bah, going for another run at that molehill, you should have ridden home with me, via a "cicuituous" route.....into Enniskerry, up that horrible horrible road to Cloon, in through Cloon and over the featherbeds to home. Didn't meet another soul, it was lovely and peaceful, but I was pursued by some sheep. Deadly spin on a lovely day

Cheers for the spin guys, what a fantastic day for it.
Thanks for the hack (bodge?) work on my rear gear cable... I'll be running with a spare cable next time :)
See you next week - Al.

Hi Al, we'd prefer the term Instantaneous Innovatiive Outdoor Engineering, but 'bodge' is a lot easier to say so that's fine!
Donn,
You'll be bringing those tyre levers and spare tube with you the next time huh? coz there's plenty more gnarly descents like last weeks one in store for you!!!
