Welcome to Roe valley Cycling Club's 5 Forest MTB Challenge entry page!

 

This is our 5th year of hosting the event and we are very pleased to announce that it has been the winner of our local sports council's Event of the Year award for the second time in succession. As a club, we are delighted to have received these awards and can now feel verified in saying how proud we are to be running one of the stand out events in the cycling calendar. 

Taking in the 5 forests of the Roe Valley area, the views and scenery are nothing but spectacular. A fully marked and marshalled event takes riders on the Ulster Way route through Binevenagh, Grange, Springwell, Drumrammer and the Cam Forest before returning back to the HQ to receive some refuelling.. this is where RVCC excel and we are delighted that the past years have had participants 'raving' about the spread being better than the event itself....After over 3000ft of climbing over the 30 mile route you will be ready for some sustinance , we can assure you.
