Racing795 will be hosting the first of the Leinster XC League races on 28th March in Kilbrannish, near Bunclody, Wexford.
The guys down in Wexford have been very busy with course preparations and this is set to be an excellent kick-start to the XC Racing season and a great lead-into the XC NPS.
A lot of riders are keen to ride a new course and get some early-season racing in to test new bikes (and new legs!), and see how fast they are versus the other riders in their respective categories, and how much more training they’ll need to do….
With sections named as ‘Paradise’, ‘Critical Mass’ and ‘The Dabbage patch’, the Rnd 1 course is going to offer a wide variety of terrain to test technical skills and fitness.
Read the full preview here.

The first being hosted by Racing 795 in their new venue, the second by Cuchulainn again in a brand new (private) venue, with the remaining two doubling as rounds of the XC NPS hosted by IMBRC at Slade Valley, Saggart, Dublin and MADMTB on 3Rock, Dublin.
