If you are a beginner I would suggest trying our beginner spin instead, but it's up to yourself anyway! Just so you know, the beginner spin is very cross country orientated, but it's a very good place to start if you want to get into downhill eventually.<br /><br />Cloon spin are meeting at 930<br /><br />Beginner spin meeting at 10. mmcg

Very muddy and slippy but after a lap or two you start to learn the best lines and the spots where you can put down the power. Only thing is by that stage my legs were wrecked.<br /><br />I think a lot of people from EPIC are going to be out at the Cloon DH course on Saturday doing some maintenance on the track. Might be problematic if there are loads of us riding the course? We'll probably get roped into helping as well but thats all good. The night race was brilliant!
