CYCLING IRELAND MTB NEWS
IRISH MTB XC NPS RD 3-MAGHERAMORNE, LARNE
Round three of the Irish Mountain Bike Cross Country NPS takes place this Sunday 25th May, at Magheramorne Quarry near Larne in County Antrim, promote by Team Madigan. This vast expanse, owned by the Lafarge Company, formerly the Blue Circle Cement Works, was first used last year for a round of the NPS. The venue may not be what is classed as ‘normal’ mtb terrain, no forest etc, however the course features a number of technical challenges.
Last years event proved a great success for the promoting Club as they moved away from their ancestral mtb home, Woodburn Reservoir Forest. Once over the culture shock of an mtb race not in a forest, the majority of those that competed last year thoroughly enjoyed the course which provided for fast racing in the ultra dry conditions. Sign on for the race opens at 10am and will be located in the Blue Circle Sports and Social Club. The course for Sunday’s event will be similar to last year. Under 8 and Under 10 riders will have their own mini course while Under 12 competitors will have a mini loop of the main course. All other classes will use the main course.
Race timetable:
U8/U/10/U12 11.30am
U-16 12.15pm
SPORT M/W 12.16pm
U-14 12.17pm
ELITE MEN 1.30pm
ELITE WOMEN 1.31pm
