My Favourite MTB Trails in Ireland right now Slieve Bloom Mountains Baunreagh

A few laps in the Slieve Bloom Mountains — still one of my favourite places to ride in Ireland. The new route to the top has made life so much easier, especially compared to the old Doom climb, which was just misery on a bad day.

Thunder is the real highlight here. Doesn’t matter if you’re new to MTB or have been at it for years — it’s just a brilliant trail. Between the black jump line, the techy black sections, and some great reds, there’s a bit of everything.

Harrier is a class addition to the red loop too. It feels like a smaller, punchier version of Tomahawk in Ticknock, with that same satisfying flow.

Hope you enjoy the video. If you do, a quick comment or a thumbs up goes a long way.
