IMBRC Beginner Spin Sat 18th Feb
« on: February 15, 2012, 11:12:23 AM »
Our last beginner spin in the series will take place in Hellfire & Masseys Woods @10:30am on Sat Feb 18th
Meeting at the Hellfire Carpark Map

This is for both men and women beginner level riders age 14 upwards. Pace will be handy but we will most likely split people into smaller groups again.

We require to you register your interest by filling out this form (not required if you filled in the form for the last 2 spins)

If you are U18 you will have to bring along a signed parental consent form. This is very important as we cant bring you on the spin without it.!

You will need the following:

    A helmet (No Helmet = No spin)
    A mountain bike in good working order and working brakes
    Appropriate cycling clothing for cold, wet weather, gloves (no jeans or track suits)
    Spare tube, basic tools (allen key set, tyre levers)
    Food (cereal bar, banana...etc)
    Water

Any questions, contact us via this forum or email imbrcinfo(AT)gmail.com

Yes that was a hard day today, the fast group was plenty fast!  We got some tough climbs in followed by sweet singletrack.  Well done to the survivors, even some of our members couldn't hack the pace (Craig!!!!) Here's some pics.

The problem was that not enough people were doing the crazy jumps:-)  No more excuses when the new camera arrives!

It wasn't a failure it was a good attempt! You know me always trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible on a mountain bike:-)
