MOUNTAIN BIKING AT KILFINANE OEC
As the name suggests Mountain Biking is simply off road biking in mountainous or forest areas.
This exciting and rapidly developing sport is suitable for all ages and abilities and you can choose from a leisurely cycle along forest roads to adrenalin pumping downhill biking. We use specialist Mountain Bikes with in built suspension, high quality parts and excellent brakes!
At Kilfinane OEC we provide Mountain Biking for groups and individuals aged 16 or over. Many of our courses begin with a session at our bike skills park here in the Centre and then we move out to the local Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trails.
With the largest mountain bike trail network in the country on our doorstep Kilfinane OEC is set to become the new home of Mountain Biking in Ireland. We have courses to suit all levels and our team of dedicated and experienced instructors will help you get started or move on to the next level.
We provide helmets and protective elbow pads for all participants.
