Between a big rock and a hard place

Took the opportunity to try the mountain bike trails above Rostrevor this morning, tackled the 26km red route, a big climb to start with but worth the effort

Was a bit overcast today, but quite mild, so pleasent enough, the route goes up quite high above Kilbroney park

A good mixture of forest and open heathland

Great colours in that 1st photo, shame it's out of focus. You'll have to go up there again

Looks awesome..... it's been ages since I had a day on the mtb

That does look like a fab route (assuming it's the same place): 26K at the rate this guy is going is a damn good workout.

Yep, the same route, a fair bit faster than me though :whistle:

LOL, yeah might have to go back up to get one of my lungs back, not surprised the photo was out of focus, there would have been a wee shake in the hands at the time
