Busy enough on the weekends but v quiet during the week, seems to be quite a bit of trail upgrade work going on at the moment. If its like that flowey section on the brown loop it'll be well worth a visit.

Took a spin on the new red loop out on the Kinnity side of the slieve blooms. It's a very nice spin around 22km from Kinnity castle out the blue onto the red and back the blue. There were lads from Kileens digging out another trail and they look to be well into it.

Checked out some of the natural trails and some of the drops are class but you'd need to go with a local to string them altogether. As per usual with the official trails they're not really red I'd say more blue+ unfortunately no drops a few doubles and small table tops and even a treble at one point if you dare.

Is that a cotic solaris? Lovely looking hard tail either way.

Is Coolaney worth the trip?

Good spot! It’s a 2019 Solaris max!

Coolaney is decent but it depends on how long the trip is!

I've had my eye on one for a while

I was thinking that it's the same for the slieve blooms. I'll probably hang on till I'm working up that way again.

Rostrevor today.

I had forgotten how poxy the pedal up is and especially nasty in this heat.

Glenahoo valley, I reckon this could be the most scenic spin I've ever done. Unfortunately there was cloud down at the top so I couldn't get the shot I wanted.









It's hard to tell from the pic but that's a 300m drop

Looks like an absolutely stunning spot.

Cast Iron

Ravensdale, hadn't been out in a long long time, managed to stay upright which was nice!



Did a few of the trails, some are rutted/guttered in parts, but really enjoyed getting back out.

Lights look nice and bright, what modal are you using, thinking of upgrading mine for the upcoming winter.

Handlebar light is nightrider lumina 1800. Pricey but very good quality.

Helmet light is a petzl nao head lamp which I've had for hill walking. Bit gimmicky with it's autonomous lighting (always switched off) but very bright.

Cheers, I have cheap chinese ones and while they work, I had a few reliability issues with them last winter. I'll have a trawl through the light thread too
