Downhill Tracks

Setheme · 2009-04-10 13:01:46

Hey, I just bought my self MTB and I want to try some Downhill / Freeride ect. as the spring comes. I dont have too much experience in such off-road trips, so could you name few places, near Dublin, where I could do that? I was thinking about the mountains near powerscourt waterfall, what do you think?

Yep, Djouce and Ballinastoe are good, not DH but good to get started on if you have little experience.

Best way to find the trails is to join a club (www.madmtb.com) where regular spins will be held and you can get to know the trails yourself. MAD also do DH so have a look at the website (forum) and you will be able to come on spins before joining the club to get a feel for it.
