Sunday March 22nd sees the start of the XC NPS with Round 1 being held in the brand new venue of Rossacrue Woods, Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry.
The race will be hosted by Killarney CC, and the Killarney bikers have been busy working on the track for the past few months clearing fallen trees, clearing singletrack sections and working on drainage.
The loop is approx. 5km in length composed of 2.5K fireroad with the remainder a mix of smooth fast singletrack and some further more technical singletrack.
The guys are also working on an additional section of technical singletrack so all in all, it sounds like a great venue to kick-start the season with.
Portaloo will be available and tea/sambos served afterwards to refresh the riders before the road home!
