Title: Blessingbourne MTB Trails
Post by: suspectmonkey on June 08, 2011
Spotted a few of my mountain biking pals on Facebook talking about a new trail centre opened just outside Fivemiletown.  Looks pretty awesome, check out the cool launch video here - http://vimeo.com/24140015.  Once I've got two properly working arms again I'm going to have to dust off the bike, get some air in the tyres, load the bikes up on the bike rack and head over there!

I'm for heading down tomorrow. I suppose that's too short notice?

Took a trip down here today. Had the place all to myself. First impressions are very good and its great to see this kind of thing starting up in NI.  Its a tad short but a few loops and its a good day out on the bike. So to all who are interest head down and give it a try. We should all be supporting new intiatives like this. Hopefully one day the forestry service will take notice.
