I'm keen to start getting some decent climbing in over the next few months. I'm Lisburn based. Can anyone suggest some good hilly routes not too far from there?
Thanks,
Lisa

Lisa, head out of Lisburn toward Dromara and once you hit the village go straight through and you will be in climbing nirvana after that, cos not matter where you head after that it's basically up hill and down dale. Lots of options after you leave dromara in Rathfriland/Finis/Gransha direction.  |

Hi Lisa. Plenty of hills around Dundrod, and the route up to this area, or Drombo village area. You will get a workout close to home.

Hills are a bit like the Inland Revenue, even if you don't go looking for them, they always manage to find you. Just going out at the weekends with the club usually gives you all the hills you need, and even some you don't!  Come out one of these Saturdays and we'll do a run around the coast towards Rostrevor, where we could head off into the mounes towards Hilltown, Rathfriland and then it's take your pick as far as hills go! This time of year, I think we're building up to that. |
