Ok folks, one week to round 4 in Ballyhoura, so just a little info on the loop. The race will be held at the Trail-Centre in Ballyhoura. The lap is loosely based around the green loop with some nice fireroad climbs and cracking singletrack descents, for this race we also have some nice natural terrain with a few tricky little twisty bits and a few small drops and a couple of sets of steps just to keep you on your toes. The race will start on the fireroad and will enter the singletrack after a few hundred metres so the sprint start will be vital . The baggy short race will consist of two laps of different lengths, totalling 12km, winning time should be approx 40 mins, the superpros will do the same plus two more short laps totalling 18km the winning time should be approx 70 mins. There will be vendor selling burgers for refuelling and there are hot showers available in the Centre, we have ordered fine weather for the day so this should be a good days racing and craic. This will be ideal training for the NPS on the following week.
