Those opened last weekend? Newstalk FM had a piece on MTBing yesterday, it was crap but they mentioned some new trails located near [s]the Village of Bubblin[/s] Dublin.
There was a talk about facilities such as toilets and a cafe.
Can anybody confirm/deny those claims? Is it a rigid ss or 456ss territory?

Not the longest loop by all accounts but a good one. There be plenty of 'real' riding too.

Ticknock? Seen the clip about it - lots of racy XC types! We are heading to Ballinastoe Saturday week, can't wait for those two 'down' sections ๐Ÿ˜‰

Its very short - 8km. Two sections. Both fairly smooth - especially the first section. Starts off with a climb but then gets very fast. We've seen one guy on a hybrid with 700 wheels do it. Probably not recommended though ๐Ÿ™‚
