Hi i am looking for mountain bikers or even those who want to get out and about near to donegal town....i am planning on building some dh and xc tracks somewhere near donegal town (near lough eske/bluestacks0 or ballyshannon (knader woods) maybe building on sunday for a couple of hours or even saturdays.....any helpers or suggestions would be great ...preferrably a woodland or forest with a road to the top for uplifts.
Farmers on board too plenty of money to be made at uplifts

Have you tried contacting your local cycling club to see if there is any interest or maybe setting up a mtb division within the club.
