Ride for Phil.

Calling all female MTBers. Ever wanted to try out racing or practice your race craft without the pressure of a real race? Hush MTB are hosting a FREE timed practice event on the 26th of January. Two timed stages, which can be run in any order as many times as you like between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

- This introductory event is FREE to all female Cycling Ireland Membership holders.

Why is it free? Hush MTB wants to see more female racers at events and more female members in our club. We hope that after attending this introductory event you might like to join the club. Members will benefit from free access to many more timed practice events like these in 2025 - we hosted 7 such events last year. Note: If you’re a member of another club that’s no problem you can join more than one club.

For more details or to secure your spot (limited to 30 entries) send us a message.

Going forward we will be opening membership for people 16 and over. This will be done through Cycling Ireland and by selecting Hush MTB as the club. For attending events people 16-18 will require a parent or guardian to be present for the duration of the event.

If you're already a member of another club but want to join Hush as well just send us an email at [email protected] with your CI license details and pay the club fee directly via PayPal (€35 or €10 for members 16-18 as we are already over halfway through the year).

We still have plenty of events planned for the rest of the year including our summer series so make sure you have your membership sorted if you'd like to participate!

Now that the dust (literally) has settled we'd like to say a huge thankyou to Top Part Motor Factors , Rocheur Confectionery Arklow and Decathlon Ireland for helping out the club with all the bits to make the race possible. Great to have Feel Good Bicycles there on the day keeping everyone's bikes running smoothly, Badass Bbq and Cornershop for the amazing burgers and coffee on the day and Order of Malta Ireland for the excellent medical cover on the day, it wouldn't be possible without all of you!

Also the club sponsors Homeward Bound Gorey Ireland , RH Suspension and A-line Tech for their continuing support, we have plenty more in store for the year!

A massive thanks to everyone who gave their time to marshal, prepare trails and organise and clean up after the race. The race wouldn't have been nearly as good without everyone's support and it's hugely appreciated from us.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the dry conditions and we can't wait to see what's in store for the next rounds of the Grassroots Enduro Series

Great turnout today for the memorial for Phil, It was brilliant to see so many people out enjoying the trails! Rest In Peace Phil, your memory will live on through everyone who has the pleasure of riding a bike in The Hush!

A reminder that the memorial spin for Phil will be on the 9th of March at 10am. Please join us on the day to pay our respects to the man who has created an amazing playground for us mountainbikers! This spin is open to non-members as well as members and we will meet in the top car park on the 9th, for a social spin riding some of the trails that Phil created for us all to enjoy! There will also be a walking loop for anyone to join on the day.
