Castlewellan Trail Quest
It’s back! Our annual Christmas Bike Bash returns on the 29th December!
A great opportunity to get out Mountain Biking on the awesome Castlewellan Trails over the holidays, try out new kit or simply burn off some Christmas Pudding! We’re planning our usual fun yet challenging quest taking you around the MTB trails along with the surrounding stunning Castlewellan Forest Park giving you the opportunity to test your MTB skills alongside planning, navigation and teamwork.
The quest is a 2 hr maximum event suitable for Novice and Experienced Cyclists alike and while you can enter as a Solo or a Team of any number (including families), your duration and level of participation is left entirely at your discretion – Chill or Challenge!
This year we’re permitting Standard Mountain Bikes and Electric Mountain Bikes – Bikes must be in a suitable condition for the trails and all riders must wear helmets – our Bike fleet will be available for hire – pre-booking advised.
Check-ins on the day will be from 10am until 10.30am while starts will be from 10.30am until 11am – Results at 1pm
