How long is a lap in time
How much singletrack compared to Bellurgan
Is there refreshments afterwards
Whats the parking like, is it beside the start/finish area
How long is it from Dublin
If it rains will it be rideable

We recon 25 minutes for S1 , 30 for S2 , 35 for S3 ( its about 6.5 km but quite tecnical )
Sorry wasnt at Bellurgan , but there is only 300-400 metres of fire road the rest is tecnical double track climbing and decending with about 1km of single track , no problem passing
Tea , coffee etc after .
Have the use of a farm yard and hopefully a field for parking near start/finish area ( no multi-storey out there yet )
Half hour from my house in Rochestown .
Its ALL stone and rock so rain should have little effect .

The main climb will test everybody and the decents will also be testing :).

try a bit harder than that ..any drops of death or berms of doom ? is that a photo of hefner in there ?
you have only a week to go..its one of the furthest from Dublin, like it or lump it people will consider dropping it from their NPS quest..especially as not all rounds count ( big mistake)..

One downhill section goes down for about 2km :cool:, a bit like the tecnical down in the marathon champs ( theres 2km of tecnical climbing to get to it though) yes that is the legend that is the hefner . This track is not for the faint hearted , dont want to put weak , pussy like xc heads off but this is a REAL man/womans track , built by the LORD himself none of this man made pallet gap jump , bermed cornered fannying about stuff , to miss this would show everyone you sad excuse for a mountain biker :o.

For the sake of helping out the club I've gone through google maps street view and got this for you:

Ok, from what I can see take junction/exit 14 off the M8, and follow the signs for Fermoy, Once you're on the R369 follow these:


1. Head southwest on R639 2.5 km

(At the statue)

2. Turn right at St James Pl/N72 7.8 km

(3 no pic needed)
3. Slight left at Glanworth Rd 500 m


(Should be able to recognize it from the white house

4. Take the 1st left


(Straight ahead through the round about)

This is the entrance:


Link to google Maps here: http://goo.gl/maps/ldrh with a route from exit 14

Edit: Lat Long 52.09991, -8.42700
For GPS/Sat Nav devices. If you try this on google maps it points to the wrong place.

And a Loc8 code for anyone using a sat nav that can get these: WBZ-13-SF9

ok i'll do my bit to help the cork boys as well.

I did a lap down there early last week and put up a few words about it on our forum. It's referenced to some places on our local turf, bit anyway might give you a bit more of a heads up

http://www.racing795forum.com/home/v....php?f=3&t=592

should be deadly

and those directions are bang on, it's 15mins off the motorway to the race venue
10 Apr 2011, 21:42
have any of you cheating traitorous sneaky practicing *******s got a video of this track for me website..
When did this filthy sneaky arsebanditry ( going down the week before and sneakily getting practice on the course like a dirty filthy trail slut ) start being acceptable ?
Dirty feckers !!
EPICmtb do not condone this sort of limpwristed desire to scrape a few minutes off your lap bottom feeding underpants stealing behaviour !!

One downhill section goes down for about 2km :cool:, a bit like the tecnical down in the marathon champs ( theres 2km of tecnical climbing to get to it though) yes that is the legend that is the hefner . This track is not for the faint hearted , dont want to put weak , pussy like xc heads off but this is a REAL man/womans track , built by the LORD himself none of this man made pallet gap jump , bermed cornered fannying about stuff , to miss this would show everyone you sad excuse for a mountain biker :o.

For the sake of helping out the club I've gone through google maps street view and got this for you:

Ok, from what I can see take junction/exit 14 off the M8, and follow the signs for Fermoy, Once you're on the R369 follow these:


1. Head southwest on R639 2.5 km

(At the statue)

2. Turn right at St James Pl/N72 7.8 km

(3 no pic needed)
3. Slight left at Glanworth Rd 500 m


(Should be able to recognize it from the white house

4. Take the 1st left


(Straight ahead through the round about)

This is the entrance:


Link to google Maps here: http://goo.gl/maps/ldrh with a route from exit 14

Edit: Lat Long 52.09991, -8.42700
For GPS/Sat Nav devices. If you try this on google maps it points to the wrong place.

And a Loc8 code for anyone using a sat nav that can get these: WBZ-13-SF9

ok i'll do my bit to help the cork boys as well.

I did a lap down there early last week and put up a few words about it on our forum. It's referenced to some places on our local turf, bit anyway might give you a bit more of a heads up

http://www.racing795forum.com/home/v....php?f=3&t=592

should be deadly

and those directions are bang on, it's 15mins off the motorway to the race venue
10 Apr 2011, 21:42
have any of you cheating traitorous sneaky practicing *******s got a video of this track for me website..
When did this filthy sneaky arsebanditry ( going down the week before and sneakily getting practice on the course like a dirty filthy trail slut ) start being acceptable ?
Dirty feckers !!
EPICmtb do not condone this sort of limpwristed desire to scrape a few minutes off your lap bottom feeding underpants stealing behaviour !!

ok ..some questions
How long is a lap in time
How much singletrack compared to Bellurgan
Is there refreshments afterwards
Whats the parking like, is it beside the start/finish area
How long is it from Dublin
If it rains will it be rideable

Send me a full preview with some photos and I will put it up on my Blog !! I will be attending with my camera and my bag of abuse..don't disappoint me !!

We recon 25 minutes for S1 , 30 for S2 , 35 for S3 ( its about 6.5 km but quite tecnical )
Sorry wasnt at Bellurgan , but there is only 300-400 metres of fire road the rest is tecnical double track climbing and decending with about 1km of single track , no problem passing
Tea , coffee etc after .
Have the use of a farm yard and hopefully a field for parking near start/finish area ( no multi-storey out there yet )
Half hour from my house in Rochestown .
Its ALL stone and rock so rain should have little effect .

The main climb will test everybody and the decents will also be testing :).
09 Apr 2011, 23:24
try a bit harder than that ..any drops of death or berms of doom ? is that a photo of hefner in there ?
you have only a week to go..its one of the furthest from Dublin, like it or lump it people will consider dropping it from their NPS quest..especially as not all rounds count ( big mistake)..
