Welcome to episode number fourteen. We are chatting with Martin McMullan who is the Director of the Life Adventure Centre which houses the Castlewellan Mountain Bike Trails. I wanted to mainly chat to Martin about the Mourne Psycle 24hr Mountain Bike Race which the centre has just held. But I also wanted to chat to Martin about the centre, what it does, who they cater to, what activities they provide and how the mountain bike trails have been received.
We chat in depth about the 8hr and 24hr races. We talk about why these races were started and if the 24hr race (which was run for the first time this years) was always in the future plans. We chat about the success of the races and how it helps Castlewellan in general. We also talk about how the Glyn O'Brien camp started out doing the race for a bit of fun and ended up in a competitive nail biting race.
