The Cyclo-cross season is in full swing with all roads heading to Clonmel for the second round of the Cyclo-cross National Series for an exciting weekend of action this Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th October.
Hosted by us at Clonmel CC with our colleagues in Slievenamon CC and Vergesport Cross Clonmel, the event is now part of the Cyclo-cross National Series, with both UCI points as well as National Series ranking points (Cycling Ireland licence holders only) on offer for those in action during a bumper weekend of racing. Several international riders from USA, Canada, Belgium, Portugal, UK will make the trip to Co. Tipperary in search of the crucial UCI points. The final number of entries over the two days is 364!
This year, we have a new course layout that includes lots of new challenges for the riders. We will also have stands from Giant Bikes with demo E-Bikes and we will give away two Giant bikes over the weekend – thanks to The Cycologist Clonmel. Coffee & Pizza outlets will be there to keep spectators & cyclists happy throughout the weekend.
