The cycling area is fine. Ansborough (start) is on a fairly busy road, but once you’re off, it’s very quiet throughout this area. After a short initial climb, there’s a turn-off towards Leitrim fairly soon, followed by some challenging climbs via Clonvaraghan, with a few short sections reaching up to 14 per cent. Views of Cave Hill and Belfast from the summit. The Mourne Mountains aren’t the Alps, but they’re lovely for cycling if you fancy a bit of a climb. A total of about 6.7 mile... read more

Fiets omgeving is ok. Ansborough (start) ligt aan vrij drukke weg, maar eenmaal begonnen is het erg rustig, overal in deze omgeving. Na een korte eerste klim vrij snel afslag richting Leitrim en dan wat pittige beklimmingen via Clonvaraghan met een paar korte stukjes tot aan 14％.
Uitzicht naar Cave Hill en Belfast op de top.
De Mournes Bergen zijn geen Alpen maar mooi om te fietsen als je wat wil klimmen. In totaal zo'n 6.7 mijl (10.7 km). Daarna met 40mph/65 kmh een paar km afdalen tot aan afslag.
