Ballinastoe National Mountain Bike Trail Centre is located in the heart of the wild Wicklow Mountains in Irelands Ancient East, yet just 40 minutes from the Dublin City centre. If you are looking to experience some of the best mountain biking in Ireland than you have come to the right spot. The scenery showcases the coastline of the Irish Sea to the east, while looking west to Lough Tay and the Wicklow Mountains.
The trail network is a looped route that starts and finishes at the same point at the trail head located at Biking.ie bike rental/Trails Café/Car park. There is a defibrillator on site for emergencies.

This black grade route is severe throughout. The trails vary rapidly from fast and flowing to tight and technical. Prolonged steep and narrow sections are common, with drop offs and variable surfaces including rock, roots, mud, loose stones and gravel that may become slippery when wet. This trail should not be undertaken unless you are a highly experienced and highly competent mountain bike rider.
