Some very steep climbs on forest paths, and a superb ridge to ride, but riding downhill here is FAR TOO DANGEROUS for you and the families using the forest.

Starting and finishing at Cushendall, NE Antrim coast.
A long ride combining minor roads with forest tracks and some good climbs and descents.
