Bike track at Ben Gullion

by **Duke o' Ralston** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 11:23 pm

Does anyone know if the bike track up Ben Gullion is officially open yet? Was up there this morning with the young flas and was really impressed, really good fun. There is a crackin bridge been erected at one point which is really impressive. Would recommend it to anyone lookin for a fun way to get some exercise.

Hi Hels,

Anymore information on this? Sounds like another valuable attraction to our area.

Yep, know from experience a good track. Is there no more advertising about it?

The track is now open - heard its looking pretty good, if a bit scary! Anyone tried it yet?

Hi Hels

its a great little track, somethin for all levels of bike.
I think the track has been called "The wee toon trail" and there is a thread in this forum about it.
It takes about 45 minutes to do the whole thing, leaving from Longrow.

cheers

Pete

Is it only suitable for mountain Bikes or could you do it on a hybrid ?

Was up for a walk with the family tonight. The trails look pretty good, and the red one looks to be a real test. The Duke o' Ralston was telling me about how much time and money had been put into the trails and I thought I would post this picture of the first bridge that you come to on the trail. Tremendous!

Och, its lovely!v Be nice to ride a bike over it too!

Is the trail just made for mountain bikes, or can regular bikes make it around the course????

If the track was very dry, then you could probably make it round on a hybrid.
You certainly don't need an expensive bike with full suspension, any bike that has tyres with good grip would get round.
