This is circular and includes miles of singletrack trails with big climbs and big descents over a wide variety of sometimes difficult terrain that is only suitable for mountain bikes. Parts of the trail are technical, steep and rocky and include exposed rock slabs, boulders, mud, roots, loose gravel and elevated timber boardwalks. The views are spectacular north into the Maam Valley, west to the Twelve Bens and the entire length of Lough Corrib. It goes into some very remote places over high ground, exposed to the full force of the weather.
