The lack of trails on the east coast is beginning to take its toll on Ballinastoe. The trail here is becoming more and more ragged as the summer season gets into full swing. The level of traffic up in Ballinastoe at the weekends is very high. The bikers arrive at 7:30 am and are on the trail by 8:00. A steady stream continues throughout the day. Certain spots along the trail are very ragged and in need of drainage improvements. There is not enough parking spaces and no other facilities available. But hey we can live with all that because we’re hardy bikers and we are used to having no facilities. However what caught our attention this weekend was that the trail on the outward loop near the summit, where recent felling had been carried out, was now completely obscured by fallen trees. Perhaps someone should write a report on this?
