rostrevor adventure dualathon

[clairebear]

just done this today, did anyone else on here do it?  was tight especially the first third of the cycle, then it was go as fast as possible and try not fall off, which i only did once but had a soft landing in the woods lol.

have another extreme 26 buff now so if anyone on here wants it let me know i have two now and really don't need another.  its free like.  i work in the cregagh road so can get a pick up.

Well done Claire, I hear that climb is a monster!

Haven't been down to the new trails yet and was working yesterday so gave it a miss.

rostrevor is good but the hill at the start is awful, there is an uplift service which i would use if going again.  the top guys were flying, the guy that won it got a puncture and still won!

Hi .well done Claire. Illness prevented me having a crack at this. Didnt realise you wer a mtber. Any other xc riders on this site? We.ve ridden the rostrev xc loop many times. Such an adventure each time. Anyone know the winners time?  Once again well done you 

[clairebear]

Well I only do a bit of MTBing, I fancied a bit of this as it ticks boxes for me, I've been round rostrevor 2 1/2 times just I prefer castlewellen as its closer.  Though the friar tucks in warrenpoint would sway me to go back lol!

Ill just look the print out here an see if j can copy a link of all finishing times.......

Cheers Claire. Yep castlewellans great too.slightly diff character.plus its 10mins drive from us here in newcastle. If you havent tried the on site cafe in castlewellan park...mm best avoided..more atmosphere on the moon,if u ask me . Urban coffee aint bad almost opp cwellan chapel. Give us a shout if you want company at cwellan trails nxt time

[clairebear]

here i went in there to look for a loo and i thought it was like going into a time warp!!  i prefer castlewellen though rostrevor is great once you are up the on hill.  will give u a shout next time im up.  heard there are trails in the forest as well not the marked ones but ive always stuck to the trails.
