Well what a great day we had down at the Mountain Bike Demo Day at Ticknock MTB Trails. Companies such as Cyclesuperstore, Eurocycles, and OC Tuning were there to lend a hand with some of the latest mountain bikes on sale which were all free to demo. OC Tuning had their full workshop in motion, which you could avail of a free set up for your suspension forks, thats service!
All the latest bikes including, Lapierre, Giant, Ktm, Cube, and Solid to name a few where there for anyone interested in purchasing one of these amazing bikes in the near future. There was a great crowd that attended and the weather was good so it made it a good day overall.

Hi all,
Just some photos from Kippure Estate XC Summer Series Round 4. These development races were a great success and this is down to the competitors who made it worth while and we will hope to build on these races next year. A big thank you to the I.M.B.R.C. MTB club, CYCLE INN and all the staff at Kippure Estate who made these events possible.
If anyone has anymore photos of these races, if they could email them to me

Track and Trail are looking forward to the fourth and final round of the Kippure Challenge XC MTB Development Summer Race Series this weekend. All ages are very welcome and would love to see a big turn out for this years last event. So why not bring the family and friends down for support. There will be the usual coffee shop open for food and refreshments at the start line which makes good viewing.
On the day Track and Trail will be bringing a fleet of Mountain Bikes to try out on the course FREE of charge.
These development series have been a great success and hopefully we can build from these races. There are some more details and online entry on the IMBRC website.
22nd August – Kippure Estate Round 4 XC MTB Development Summer Race Series.
Howdy Folks,
The weekend just past saw the 3rd race of the Kippure Estate / IMBRC Mountain Bike Development Summer race series. Wow that sounds like a huge mouth full but what it is a bunch of event to give those who are only new to MTB a chance to bike in a new location / meet some new friends / take part in a no pressure race and all in a safe an fun environment.
The event saw a good turn out in numbers ranging from those who have just taken the stabilizers off right through to those that have many miles under their saddles and included lots of first timers.
There was a great set up on the day starting with the IMBRC guys handling all the registration work like pros getting everyone sorted & numbered up in no time at all. Also having a coffee shop and some music at the start / finish kept the spectators entertained and gave the riders some much needed encouragement as they made their laps.
For those who have never been to the ~3km looped course at Kippure we caught up with Gar from IMBRC who gave a nice out line of what the riders could expect (map below).
The racing was thigh throughout the whole day but there was still a great atmosphere amongst everyone who took part and the smiles were to be seen all round the track.
In all it was a savage event every one was saying they are already looking forward to the next (and finial) race of the series which takes place on the 22nd of August. For more information on these events you can check out Kippure Estate’s web site HERE and Irish Mountain Bike Racing Club (IMBRC) site HERE.
There are also loads of photos from the day on the IMBRC facebook page HERE. It’s events like this that ensures Mountain Biking is one of the worlds fastest growing sports.
We can’t wait until the next one and hope to see you there.
