Pitt River Middle School Visit


Earlier this month Fionn took some time out of her busy schedule to visit a class at the Pitt River Middle School here in Greater Vancouver. Fionn was invited to the school by fan and fellow rider Mr. Lambert who was eager to have Fionn speak on topics such as goal setting and lifestyle as a professional athlete. In the previous years teammate Ryan Leech had visited the school and left a lasting impression (as well as tough shoes to fill).
The students LOVED it! Question upon question were thrown at Fee until eventually someone asked if they could touch the Norco Six that Fionn brought in to show the students. From that point it was hands-on with students enjoying the opportunity to handle Fionn's bike, THE helmet, Zeal Goggles as well as grab themselves a handful of Norco stickers to have signed by Fionn herself.
A few students even won themselves signed Norco T-shirts and race jerseys! All in all the day was a success with Fionn leaving behind a DVD supplied by Ride Guide and Norco for the class to watch in the coming days. 
Thanks again to Mr. Lambert for all his effort in making this event a huge success!
