See how the pros manage when things get technical!
EPIC MTB are offering a chance to ride the Nationals course with some of Ireland’s top Elite and Master’s riders.

This is aimed at sports level riders who are unsure what to expect from the Nationals and would benefit from a view pointers on line selection and race technique.

With EPIC’s reputation for building highly technical course we want to show riders that the whole course is rideable and that every level of competitor should give the Nationals a go!.” Luke Smaul, EPIC MTB

IrishXCMTB have been given 20 places to give away. These will be on a first come first server bases.
Please email lukesmaul@gmail.com to reserve a place.

These will be run from 10am 17th July at Djouce lower carpark. Riders must be self sufficient. This is to be treated as a self guided spin and the pro rider is only there to offer advice but each rider is responsible for their own safety and bike.
