MTB Trails in Galway

OldSchool94

Just wondering if anyone knows of any mountain bike trails/downhill tracks in Galway?
Heard there was 1 in Barna woods and something about one near Oughterard

Any ideas?
Cheers!

Have a look at:
http://www.coillteoutdoors.ie/ (When you select Galway you'll get a list, including the one just past Oughterard). You could also stop by MBW (Bike Store) in Moycullen as that's their area and they attend a lot of the weekend events.

The woods on the road to Sean-a-Feistin can also be accessed from a mountain trail that starts about half way between Moycullen and Oughterard at Doon East.

It's a continuation of a left-turn into a group of houses just after a disused lay-by and about 2 km before Kinneavy's pub. It's wll worth finding this road because it brings you onto a rough trail over the moutnain with fantastic views back over Lough Corrib and on the other side you sweep down into isolated woods. After about 5-6kms the entrance to the coillte woods will be on the right.
It's very isolated so would advise not to go alone as you'll not meet another soul.

Derroura Mountain Bike Trail is definitely well worth a trip. I was there a couple of weekends ago and it was very exciting. There is some cracking scenery and the trail itself is challenging and technical. It can be pretty chilly too so wrap up!
