2015 XC MTB League

The Cuchulainn MTB League is back this April and there are a few changes in store.

With the advent of the newly formed off-road committee we have had a look at the league from the ground up and based on your feedback made as many improvements as possible for the 2015 season:

• There will be 15 rounds with your best 13 performances counting towards your league total (up from 12 / 10).
• We have some quality prizes for the top three supplied by Galibier!
• Races will be divided evenly between Bellurgan Park and the open mountain (weather dependant).
• Round 14 will be riders choice - vote for your favourite course.
• Courses will be short and sharp to begin with but will progressively increase in distance as nights get longer.
• Courses will differ as much as possible each week and we aim to include multiple laps where possible as opposed to one long route or single loop.
• The first two races are mass start. From round 3 onwards we will be implementing a handicap system and there will be two categories of racers based on ability.
• Bellurgan Park is currently undergoing a development programme and new features are being added monthly.
• We are also running a raffle for some bike related gear with a number of prizes available at the last league race. For each race you attend you will be given a raffle ticket. If you marshall you get 2 tickets. You must be present at the last race to partake in the raffle.
