Clare. With kind permission from Coillte and several land owners, The East Clare Way and Lough Derg Ways, you will have access to some of the country’s most stunning views and ride through areas and tracks that are not generally available to Mountain Biking.

Check out http://www.mountainbikechallenge.ie/loughderg for more information.

If there is a few interested in this event we should again organse car pooling, meeting arrangements or even because it is a 2 day event and if there is a group heading down maybe organise accommodation if anyone interested.
