Following the success of our MTB races last December, and in April this year when we hosted a round of the Irish MTB series, we’ve now been asked to host the Ulster Mountain Bike Cross Country Championships next Saturday (13th August).  There will be racing for all categories from Under-6 to Masters, with the event running from 9am to 4pm at the Whitespots Country Park (car park off the Newtownards – Bangor dual carriageway). There are lots more details, including how to enter, here.

Interest in MTBing is sky high at the moment after Northern Irish riders achieved some of our best ever international results at the Commonwealth Games last week – Cameron Orr just missing out on a medal in 4th place and Chris McGlinchey taking 9th. So now is a great time to capitalise on that success and encourage the stars of tomorrow,

If you are able to help out at the event, please get in touch with our club secretary Stephen Beattie. All Club members should also have received an email. Thanks – and see you there for a great day’s racing 🙂
