And that’s a desirable quality, with no bumps or lumps and plenty of passing space.

The temporary “dirt path” is still there for those who want to take it, perhaps to exercise their suspension or do some mad skids.

It is fantastic to hear that the “mantrap” at the railway line is to change, those are not helpful and actively distract cyclists from their surroundings. Disappointingly, they’re still being installed in other places, and in even-tighter configurations. Curraghs Road for example.
