Hi, I started mountain biking last summer and love it.
The trouble is I only really know the 3 Rock Trail and the ballinastoe trail. I live in Dublin City and would like some more tails to do at weekends - can anyone advise where to go?
Join a club, once you pass the initiation, and the 'special tests', you will be laughing.
You could even go as far as to join this club. We used to bite but now we have been neutered and are far more socialable.
Nice one - joining a club is definitely on the cards - Its a little bit of a chicken and egg syndrome though - I want to be at a decent level before going on club rides(so I dont slow people down too much) and I also need to learn how to get better.
well you don't generally get better riding on your own and the we run good saturday spins for beginners. no worrying about slowing people down. we all started off slow and sketchy
So come on out and give it a go if nothing else it will give you an idea of your skills in relation to everyone else
Hold on ..
Mr Smok,
Unless you are completely ****e, you would be well able for saturdays..fcuk that Chicken/egg nonsense.i hear that all the time, i want to go out but i'm afraid I'll hold everybody up.
Believe me, I've had to wait for everybody at some stage,including some of our top riders, names will be published for a price.
Turn up, get roasted , come back get roasted less. This is the way it works.
Mr Laois, 1 question

:):):)

ill look into it but with the L.C coming up and the aul busy weekends itl be hard,They should really have more events around the country, Make it nationwide, But im sure in time it might happen!!.. Then again i can pedal around the county for the time being!!! :):):):)
good man, keep an eye on the forum. i will give you members access , so you can see what we do, and my number is 0876376065 f you need advice, same goes for the rest of you lurkers, remember this..
mountainbiking is deadly, its like having the Horn all the time, not quite as good as kissing girls or getting drunk, but orghasmic in its own way. Sure you can fiddle with running and snowboarding and base jumping. But they all require some sort of extreme situation.
Mountainbiking only needs a narrow strip of dirt, anywhere anytime any old hill.
Theres something in it we all want.
Speed.... and the feeling of " whats going to happen next !!!"
I've been at it longer than anybody and I still love it.
And i have done some seriously loveable ****, i'm nearly 50 !!!
So get on your bike, pedal like **** at the nearest crazy ****, laugh your head off for not dying and away you go !
that, my friend , is what its all about...!!!
Richie
