Wicklow Outdoors Festival

Last weekend saw the first ever Wicklow Outdoor Festival taking place. Activities were being offered, for free, by lots very kind folk all around Wicklow. Biking.ie hosted free introductions to mountain biking on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Over 100 people turned out and had great fun in sunny Ballinastoe. Bike hire was available on the day with full range of top notch hardtail and cross country bikes, helmets included.

There was also an endless supply of Haribo sweets and Columbia Sportwear stickers for free too! So don't miss out next year, keep an eye on http://www.biking.ie/ for more events like this in the coming months.

Cross Country National Points Series, Rd 1, Co. Dublin

The first round of the Irish XC NPS series kicks off this weekend at Slade Valley above Saggart in Dublin. It is also the third round of the Leinster XC League.

Slade Valley has hosted various XC events in the past including Leinster League and NPS races but the organising club, IMBRC have been busy creating new singletrack for the 5km course. 70% of the course is new singletrack!

As with previous IMBRC events the team relay makes a welcome return. Teams of three will race in relay format for one lap each around the course the day before the race, Saturday the 10th of April. This is an excellent way to pre-ride the course at true race pace and should not be missed. Sign on for this event starts at 12 with racing off at 1. Do not miss this! Entry fee is €15 per team.

See http://www.imbrc.com/ and http://www.spoke.ie/ for details

Ireland's first Mountain Bike Ranger

The Dublin Mountain Partnership (DMP) announced their latest recruits last week, including a new mountain bike ranger role. The DMP is charged with both promoting and protecting the area, and the rangers are the public face of the group. Biking.ie's Niall Davis has been selected as the first Mountain Bike Ranger in Ireland and is really looking forward to getting involved this summer. You can read more about the DMP on their website, or in the Sunday Business Post who featured the story over the weekend.
