2015 MTB League - Round 1

Many thanks to all who raced and helped out last night and not to mention all the lads who have worked hard over the last few months in Bellurgan Park to get it race ready. Well done to Aiden, Andrew and Niall and much appreciation to local photographer Brian Mulligan (www.brianmulligan.me) for taking some spectacular photos of the race. Some photos available on the bottom of this page or the full gallery can be seen on Brians Facebook Page.
