hi everyone, I'm looking for trails on the limerick/ tpperary border. I've done the ballyhouras...They are great and all but I'm tired of them.They have kept me going for a while but I need something new at least 10 k.Any suggestions?

Hi Massey. Myself and a few lads have done a bit around The Glen of Aherlow. Like yourself we wanted a break from the Ballyhouras. Not sure exactly the distance but is easily over 10km. Most is old forrest roads with grass and gravel and just last night we done some good single track. We will probably be going there again wednesday evening if you want to come along

Yeah thats a part of it alright. We usually start from the carpark at Aherlow House (for security) and go up behind aherlow house and do a few loops there and then to rock an torbh. from there we go down by christ the king and hit the singletrack from there. Its a good spin alright. If you ever want to head out just post here or pm me.

hi massey133,
there is some good trails around ballycuggran forset in killaloe also, it was even a venue for a round of the national xc champs back in june. some great singletrack around the forest. trail is around 5-6k in length but you can could go exploring there and spent a few hours there if you wanted. if you post on the mbul forum the guys there will give you a map of killaloe and some other local trails.:D

Thats a map of the area around rock an toarbh. I think the best thing is to just hop on the bike and explore the area.
