XC Development Series Round 1 results

Howdy All,

Thanks to the HUGE amount of racers that participated in today’s XC Development Series event in Ballinastoe, Wicklow.
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves!

The bit of snow helped cool the temperatures of the riders as they roasted the singletrack with high intensity racing!

There was loads of entertainment in every category, with mini-battles going on all over the place.

A massive 165 riders signed-up to race, with a significant portion being first-time racers which is great to see!

It was just as well the SPORT A riders were set-off an hour later than the non-SPORT A group because SPORT A accounted for 75 riders, with the other categories not far behind with 68 riders!

The Youth (U 8/10/12)  categories were also well represented with 22 little rippers flying through the course.

Big thanks to the organiser Richie Byrne from EPICMTB, Offroad Commission, the sponsors – Niall Davis from Biking.ie, Wheelworx, Cycling Ireland, Snap Printing, all the marshalls and helpers and families and friends who provided roars of encouragement and support!

Additionally – special recognition trophies will be awarded will be presented to the following Sports riders (note that Sports category was not included in the overall league awards):

David Hickey (u/a) and Paul Barry (IMBRC) for their dedication in racing at all 7 events in 2009, and also to Mark McGauley (MADMTB) for his self-promotion from Sports after winning NPS Rnd.1 and his subsequent performance in Masters category where he improved on nearly every previous race result.
