Hi

Looking to tack along with anyone doing runs at Tardree , Ballyboley or Woodburn .

Into doing a bit of every thing as long as its not extreme downhill or anything you need to be
a fitness freak for ... LOL

I wouldnt mind a wee bit of Tardree sometime.
Havent been there in ages, its bound to be good at the min with the dry weather. Man its a mess in the wet but a defo hit in the dry.

Whats Woodburn like always meant to go there. Any singletrack or is it all fireroad?

Haven,t done Tardree yet ,been busting to give it a go .

Woodburns a bit of a mess at the minute .
A lot of tree clearing going on from the FS and fell trees from the wind the other week .
Thats wrecked alot any flow of singletrack .
Once the FS in finish there should be alot of nice fire road needing work .

Theres alot of Woodburn that i haven,t discovered yet . Could do with a good guide ..... lol

Woodburn will be a mess for quite some time as the forestry service have been harvesting there since the start of the year,
some day Woodburn will be no more!
There's plenty of single track trails through the forest but will take a bit of exploring to find them...

I used to ride Woodburn every weekend but just can't be arsed driving over these days

Just as I tell you that Tardree is good in the dry the heavens open. Ah well sure il be in touch sometime and wel get a burn round tardree.It is pretty good like, theres nothing too steep or too long but well worth a run out.

Pity about Woodburn would have loved another wee place handy to me.

Tipical ..... Sounds like a plan Steve ... Where do you ride yourself ?

Anyone know any other good spots in the area ?

[SteveSpesh]

Usually Davagh, Gortin, Slieve Gallion, sometimes make the trip to Tollymore. Well worth the journey too!

Cavehill is a really good spot, bit of a steep climb but its worth it. Its not that far from Carrick.
