Western Way 1
ds
First bit of the western way that's worth gettin on the bike for. Tie this in with western way 2 and the coillte trail near by at dourroua. For a good day out.
Just back from a spin there today. After the initial steep decent on the northeast side the track has been dug up and destroyed by a digger. There is now a road of soft boggy mud as wide as a digger and crap for cycling. I tried to cycle alongside the road but its super soft. Even the walkers were walking alongside it.Might be good with a hard frost or when it dries out a bit. The decent on the south western side is good fun and the rocky slabs at the top of the climb are good for picking out different lines on.
