Work Experience with Biking.ie- Day 1


Aaron Mc Cann from Co. Louth here I am up doing my work experience with Biking.ie for the week! I am an all round cyclist in Cuchulainn C.C. but mountain biking is my main focus in the sport , in the last tree years I’ve raced Mountain Biking races all over the country and as of last year my first international race at the Roc D’azur in the south of France . I’m looking into a Biking career in the future so here at Biking.ie it’s perfect! I will be keeping you updated with my day to day adventures throughout the week!

Monday 6th February 
I made my way up to Ballinastoe Co. Wicklow to Biking.ie HQ and met up with Niall Davis where we discussed our plan for the week over a cup of tea. After our discussion and general biking chit chat we headed out on the bikes to check out the race loop for The Biking Blitz in two weeks time, had a great time out on the trails talking about guiding, lessons and everything else that goes with the job ! Stopped a few times for some trail maintenance which has to be done to keep the place in top condition for the many other riders using the trails.
         
We ended our spin in the new Trail head where we both used the great facilities ran by Biking.ie cleaned down the bikes and checked them over to make sure they were ready for the next spin. After we got cleaned up and had lunch it was out to the rental bikes for some servicing, today’s job was to replace all the headsets on the fleet of over thirty Trek hardtails!


After the first few Niall and I got into a good system were tipping away like a small dumper! And time wasn’t long flying by until the end of the day. I even got myself my very own world famous Biking.ie T-shirt for the rest of the week , I hear they very hard to get your hands on and only a select few have one to their name!
