Arek - Galcensis MTB Challenge

MAD member Arek Gogojewicz has just completed the Glacensis MTB Challenge – an 8 day stage race through Poland and the Czech Republic. Competing in the Solo category, Arek covered 515km of trails and 14500m of climbing. It’s great to see all the months of training, weight-shaving and leg-shaving have paid off!

MAD were out in St. Stephen’s Green yesterday with Irish Miss Universe Diana Donnolly, getting rad in support of Meteor’s ‘Get on Your Bike Challenge’. The fundraising event sees Meteor staff and the Mountainbiking Association of Ireland team up and hit the tarmac in an attempt to cycle 630km, the distance from Mizen to Mail Head, all in aid of Children’s Charity Barnardo’s.

Meteor are sponsoring MAD for 2009/2010 so keep an eye out for the new team kit soon! Thanks to Liam, Jonathan, Barry, Morgan, Tom and Declan for being our male models for the day – it’s tough work but someone has to do it.

Killruddery is the opening round of the 3 race KCapital Challenge Series, www.kcapitalchallenge.com, being held on the Sunday 26th July.
Venue is Killruddery Demense, Parking and start is in the Belmont Area [old castle], which can be accessed from the Bray to Greystones road turning off at Windgates

Event will be a Mass start for all competitors at 12.00 Noon, and will be over a 35km course [2 laps], with all the flowy singletrack in Killruddery from last years Nationals as well as a big Climb up high onto the small Sugarloaf, and long descent too. As everyone is riding the same course we are leaving out ‘The ROCK’ but We’ve found something else as spectacular

We are going to run the Underage on a Mini Challenge Course, one loop, starting just after the start of the other categories.

We are having a Top 10 prize list for the 10 fastest riders overall and awards for the various categories, and the series then for the categories also.

Entry fees:
All Senior Cats €20
Juniors €15
Underage €5

**We are not running a two day event as previously planned, that idea went a bit pear shaped this year, So the Event is Sunday only. There is No pre-riding on Saturday 25th July, but you can see the course early on Sunday Morning, we will be open for sign on at 9.30, Sign on will close at 11.30am

Thanks Robin
