They got straight to the point and went to Ballyhoura and interviewed a number of people who says its is one of the best places in Ireland to go and it’s true. We’ve done it many times and even going this weekend.

Ballyhoura Trails on RTE.

On MountainBiking.ie we were one of the first websites in the country go specifically head to this Mecca of Biking to document the trails a number of years ago. We found a well structured trail and fantastic facilities.

It’s like driving into the car park of the local golf club, full car park and club house etc. They interviewed Mary O’Brien who is the recreation officer with Coillte who explained about their annual season pass costing 30 euro.

The show went on to talk about the Events and Races that are run there and they also talked to Chris from XTC mountain Bike hire who has a place there to rent bikes all year round.

Meave Baxter downhill European champion was also interviewed and told us its the best in Europe!

Well done to Nationwide for bring our sport to the masses. If you missed the show check it out on the RTE player website
