Club updates
The club has organised a mountain bike morning on Sunday next the 30th of November at BikePark Ireland, Fairymount farm. We will meet at 9am at Fairymount farm. It is ideal to have such a varied selection of trails in one place and right on our doorstep and only a 25 minute drive from Nenagh. The park caters for every ability. If you don’t have a mountain bike don’t worry you can hire one at the park. They provide excellent facilities. There is an uplift service to take you up the hill, so you can save your energy and enjoy the downhill sections. All you have to do is buy your uplift tokens at the reception area and hand in the token to the driver when there is space on the truck. Each uplift token is €2.50 per trip and if you have any tokens left over simply bring them back to reception and they will refund their value. Also there is a bike wash area and a cafe on site to have a warm cuppa after your spin so bring a few extra euro on the day just in case. Entry to the park is €5.00.
