The thinking behind our cyclocross track is a simple one. The lack of permanent training & racing cycling venues in Ireland means it’s difficult for cycling enthusiasts to train & race safely, especially for newcomers to the sport. Bryan McCrystal, the track host, has raced bikes for over 15 years and always raced at a competitive level. He shares the same view of most in the sport, that Ireland doesn’t have adequate facilities to accommodate or attract athletes to the sport. However, we have lots of grass! He can’t take all the credit however, it was his late father Pat that planted the seed for the track when they discussed about creating a  safe walking/training venue for the community many years back.

With an onsite shop owned by his uncle Tom situated at the foot of the Cooley Mountains and the potential of future development Bryan thought this was a good idea. But It was only after riding bikes and seeing the cyclocross sport that the idea came back and this is where we are now. One wonders what Pat might think of the place now.

Cyclocross is fun, family oriented, safe and welcoming. 

Please come and view and ride our track anytime.
