Beginner trails around Dublin.

[whtvr]

Hi Everyone,


So I got my first serious bike about two months ago. Well, it isn't really THAT serious (Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc '07) but it's the best bike I've ever had and it's pretty sweet anyway. I've been riding it around for that time to regain my fitness once again - a short trip (15-20km) once or twice per week so now I actually look for some cool trails I could go to. I live nearby St. Annes park and there's a little forrest of some kind where one can go for a ride.


Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your replies

the best trails are all on the southside I'm afraid, and you ideally would need to join a club to find out where they are,

there's some trails around Howth but I've never been on them

Come on the beginners spin tomorrow, see how you like it and if you do then join the club. There is then regular spins where you can learn all of the trails....

also, www.mtbguidebook.com has a few trails Ollie above has done over the past few months, download and study, some are roadie spins but download and open in Google Earth to see where they all are!

Whoa, fast replies (-;


So what about this spin tomorrow? What do I need to know/bring/have? About joining the club... I'm not good in long-lasting relationships q-: Not saying no though


Thanks again

ok, I checked the announcement and unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to go - it's rather early and quite far away from my place... thanks for your replies anyway
