The club have been on trips to mountain bike trail centres across Ireland and further afield to Scotland and Wales. We have also been climbing in Calpe in Spain on three occasions and have an appetite for plenty more trips to new locations. The club run regular skills workshops and bring in guest coaches to keep the programme varied and continually give our members the opportunity to increase their skills. We also offer discounted training opportunities to our members and apply for grant assisted funding to enhance opportunities for women in sport. The club membership fee is £20. In addition to this, members must be affiliated to either/or both governing bodies which provides membership benefits such as personal and public liability insurance while taking part in mountaineering and/or mountain biking activities.

Club members must be aware that all the activities we do have inherent risks, they must decide what level of activity is suitable for them to participate in and they must be responsible for their own actions and involvement. We aim to be a family friendly club and children are welcome at family club events. For further information about joining or club events please email:
