I have often climbed the Devil’s Bit but the best way to explore and admire the mountain is from the saddle. Maura, Christy, Caoimhe and the gang gave my friends and I an unforgettable day out. The trails were magical, the views were amazing, and the craic was mighty!! We had so much fun and can’t wait to do it again. The best part is you don’t need to have riding experience as Maura and Christy cater for riders of all levels. Such a fun and exhilarating day out, I would recommend it to everyone.
