GLENCULLEN ADVENTURE PARK

Dublin’s New Bike Park – Glencullen Adventure Park (The GAP) does not disappoint. With 14 sensationa­lly techy tracks you are spoilt for choice. Hard to pick just one, but we’ve opted for the aptly named ‘TREE HUGGER’ Deep Roots & very technical, not dissimilar to an enduro run. Some tricky drops and awkward o -camber roots make this challengin­g, but very fun!

SUMMIT TO SEA LONG WEEKEND

The Sierra Nevada, Spain, is a cycling mecca and this ride is the one to do. From Veleta (3,398m) you descend to the coast on a 114km epic ride where cold beer and great tapas await. This mammoth, singletrac­k descent is a test of endurance for your arms as well as your legs. Fully supported, all inclusive, long weekend. Fly to Malaga and we’ll do the rest. See website for more informatio­n.

RIDE MORZINE

Revamped in 2016 by pro rider Nico Vink, the Portes du Soleil’s incredible “Vink Line” links the French alpine bikepark from top to bottom via a red graded top, blue middle and green bottom section. It fuses floaty tabletop jumps with fast flowing berms. Advanced riders can huck themselves over huge triples if they choose! Stay in Morzine for the best resort atmosphere.
