MAD are running Round 2 of the Supercross Cup this weekend in Tymon Park, Tallaght. The race takes place in the North part of the park and promises to be a fast and technical course with a good run-up along the way.

The underage race will begin at 12 noon, with races for all Senor categories at 1pm. Mountainbikes are welcome to take part.

Thanks to all the MAD members who have volunteered to assist at the race. If you haven’t been given a job for the day why not come along and spectate or even give the race a go - this will be an ideal introduction for anyone planning on racing next year.

[Morgan]

Thanks to all the course-markers, caterers, marshalls, timers, photographers and spectators who made yesterdays race a great success. It's great to have so many people getting involved and helping out. I hope we can count on you all again when we're running our NPS race next year.

But for now we start thinking about the main event for the year- the Club Champs on December 6th!
