The best well known and flowy trail around. Transformed some couple years ago from a tech trail with the adage of big berms and smooth flowing lines and extended all the way down to the Biking.ie hut.

The surface is firm and hard-packed. On weekends, holidays and good weather days can be crowded with beginner riders.

Without any doubt is the main trail in Ticknock.
