Those of you who enjoyed the October race at this venue will be pleased to know they have added the following improvements to what is already one of the finest cyclocross venues in Ireland.

  • A new loop involving a climb and light forest section
  • A new pit lane with on site water bowser for bike wash (mechanics please bring your own bucket and brush) and lane layout for rapid bike change during racing.
  • The use of an excellent pavilion for post race food and the presentation of prizes.
