Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Oldcastle
Up in the far north of Meath near the Cavan border, Oldcastle has the kind of open, quiet roads that suit a learner. The country lanes around Loughcrew are a fine place to build confidence.
Learning to ride from north Meath
Riders in Oldcastle sometimes worry they're too far out for proper training. Once your IBT is done, the quiet roads up around Loughcrew and Millbrook are genuinely good for building your hours, letting you focus on control without much traffic to think about.
We also cover the north Meath area around Oldcastle including Loughcrew, Crossakiel and Moylagh.
Bike and gear provided
No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.
Small groups
On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.
Built around your test
Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.
