BMX taster session February 2016 was created by Valdis Andersons
In the best of traditions of doing something different from time to time in the winter months an idea has been put forward to have a BMX taster session for adults in one of the first Saturdays in February.

The session would be geared towards novices and absolute beginners who might have never been on a BMX bike, let alone a proper BMX track. That doesn't exclude anyone with more experience to take part though, you're more than welcome, especially if you have your own equipment or even spare stuff that you can bring along.

Equipment (full face helmet and bike) is provided at the track, there are a total of seven adult size bikes there. If you have your own BMX bike please bring it along, the more bikes we have on the day the less standing around we will have to do. We will try to swap the bikes around if there are more interested than there are bikes. From experience it would take two laps at most in a row to get someone out of breath.

The track is located in St. Catherine's Park, Lucan, Co. Dublin. Google Maps link:

The proposed dates could be the 6th or the 13th of February. Both dates are Saturdays to avoid clashing with the Sunday spins. It would be a 2h session from 10am till 12 noon.

Money wise there would be a suggested contribution of 5 EUR per rider that would go towards the BMX tracks maintenance efforts.

If you are interested in going then please state it below and add your preferred date (6th or 13th February) as well please.

Cool idea! Either date for me at the moment. Fair play.

If you have knee and elbow pads and good full hand gloves, I suggest you bring them along. Just the voice of experience after yesterday's kiddie session ... it's great fun, do go along!

Count me in for the 6th.
If you require extra bikes, I should be able to get a hold of some that are going unused at that time of year. They won't be race specific but should do the job.

Hey Valdis,
Doesn't seem to be much of a response on the thread. Is there something going ahead? I'll have to change my preference to the 13th as I have bit of an injury and could do with another week off the BMX to let it heal.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

It should be going ahead even if we have a few people going. From the responses it looks like the 13th is the preferred option. Currently it looks like I won't be making the session myself regardless of the date. I just need to call the coach there to let him know that a few from Orwell will be coming on the 13th looking to try out some BMX.
