How will it work

This is a introduction to mountain biking with some trail riding and the basic skills, ideal for newcomers to the sport. Participants will use electric mountain bikes (e-MTBs), which provide pedal assistance to help make climbing hills and covering the route more manageable. The use of e-bikes means riders can focus on developing skills, enjoying the experience, and exploring the trails in a supportive and fun environment. Please join us for a complimentary coffee afterwards at Biking.ie coffee shop.
