Well I had a cracking couple hours at at Castlewellan this morning, trail was perfect with a cover of frosty snow and the views up on the higher stretches were beautiful.
My bike is a camber FS, but I frequestly ride with it locked out at the back.
I really enjoyed the trail, don’t mind the constant to work on the pedals, despite its lack of big big hills it has enough to keep you moving along quite nicely. The surfaces are in great condition.
What was particularly nice was the folk at the cafe. £3 for coffee, shower and a bike wash! Wood burner was in full flow upstairs as well. Well worth another visit in my book just for the welcome I got in there.
Tomorrows road ride is looking positive weather wise. Thinking of a Bangor Newtonards Comber -ish route. Its handy from where I am stopping.
Thanks for all the advice on riding, thankfully I’ve drummed up enough business to generate another visit in the future.
