Ulster XCMTB Rd 3 at Castle Park 24th June
Round three of the Ulster Cross Country MTB League will be held in the grounds of Bangor's Castle Park on Sunday. This event was originally scheduled for the Lead Mines at Conlig but safety concerns regarding chemicals leaking from the old mine workings have caused the council to close the site.
Castle Park is well known to the MTB community, having been used for the Winter MTB League and Cyclo Cross events. However it is four years since this superb venue was last used for an Ulster League race. The parkland course is an ideal venue and suits both experienced and novice riders.
Racing begins at 11.30am with the U-18 and U-10 events. At noon the format will be U-16/Sports/U-14 and U-12. The remainder of the classes begin as usual at 1.30pm.
