A wee photo report of a sport whom is part of the cycling off-road setup, but not as well known as his CX and MTB bigger brothers, nevertheless growing bigger and bigger and deserve a bit of PR. Only 15 minutes away from Belfast, at the outskirts of Lisburn City, you can find their purpose build track. Got a chat with one of the members (Steve Bell) who explained to me a bit about the sport. I knew very little about the sport and amazed how it all works. Photo’s BP media or otherwise indicated.

Three years after the new track opened in 2016, the club is now thriving with 170 members ranging in age from four-years-old to 50 plus.
The track remains the only National standard track in Northern Ireland and regularly hosts Club and National races.
