Treasure Hunt!
Posted on December 13, 2009 by racing795
Treasure Hunt Briefing
The 795 juniors had their day out today, hunting for treasure in the woods of Kilbranish. Santa’s instructions were to follow the candlelit trail and pick up treasure on the way. And treasure they found! Candy cane sticks, and at the end the greatest treasure of all – reindeer dust! Spirits were high and there were even a few festive tunes along the way.
The adults found some treasure too – most notably Barry’s mulled wine (secret recipe apparently). The smoke in the shed couldn’t even dampen the spirits. Thanks to Siobhán, Joy and Lorraine for a great afternoon.

MTB Skills Training – 28th November 2009
Posted on November 29, 2009 by racing795
What a backdrop! Thank you weather gods.
Attack position. One finger braking. Trackstands. Bunny hops. Just some of the skills learned (and re-learned!) at our MTB training day with two of Ireland’s finest, Niall Davis and Tarja Owens of biking.ie
There were 15 trainees ranging from zero to several years’ MTB experience. It is a great testament to Niall and Tarja’s abilities that we all learned loads. Everyone said more or less the same thing afterwards – “Can’t wait to get back out there and practise!”
Thanks, on behalf of everyone, to David Furlong who organised the day. I have a feeling your fireplace will become legendary!
