The Cycling Ulster Off-road Commission organised an enduro / downhill training session at Tollymore Forest on Sunday 1 May 2022 with Glyn O’Brien with some of the top performing Ulster riders.
Glyn advised on race prep including nutrition, bike prep, mental approach, physical conditioning, line choice etc. Plenty of sectioning with some weird and wonderful suggestions, timed runs with a few spills but thankfully no injuries.
