I see from the 2010 dates Epic have a race on the 13th June this is right in the middle of the leaving cert. No chance I will be let ride in that race !!
Must be loads of guys in the same postition. Any chance the date can be changed to help anybody doing exams ? I know its not easy to get dates but surely it makes sense to keep exam time free of championship races.
Hello, i'll answer this one generally for you but the Calender has already been decided and can't be changed and its the Offroad Commission who normally comes up with these dates and the Organisers work it out between them who runs what and when. I would suggest though that if you have an issue with dates clashing with Exams, then its the Offroad Commission of Cycling Ireland you should raise it with.
None of our DH NPS organisers are available at them moment, I can only give a vague response, I just didn't want you to think we were ignoring your request.

The date is also set by the nice people who give us the venue as a result we are quite restricted as to what weekends we can use it. So unfortunately while the date maybe a problem for some riders it would not be possible to change it to suit those riders.
Well the way the dates are going this year there is going to be a race on that date and it happens to be ours, sorry even if we changed our race someone else would be running one then.
