mtb friday 17th september

Post by DavidF »

Leaving UPPER car park at 5pm SHARP. Lights (proper ones) required as we will be out til after dark.

Route:
UCP
Croghaun
Pete
Selecton Box
9 Stones
Halfway to transmitter
Down firebreak
UCP
Lil Djouce
Croghaun again
Stairway from Heaven
Finish

Likely to take 2.5-3 hrs.

This will be a lively pace, no stops spin.

Me and DC will definitely be there.

Between Heartbreaker and Doom&Gloom :twisted:

It's the "old" route from Croghaun to Upper CP. There's a jump in a grassy section in the middle

go two thirds of the way down pete
turn left
traverse the open ground, crossing the heartbreaker and continuing straight on
enter the wood
turn right

this section of singletrack to the bottom is known as 'stairway from heaven'.

these were taken at various points along it

Welcome back Rudolf. Can't make the digging but see you at 5.

Brian, just a thought... why not post your ETA, then if anyone else is struggling to make 5pm they could meet you at the same time.
