Re: mtb XC NPS Rd5 - Killarney
I did a race on this course in the Munster XC back in February
A nice course, not overly technical, but tricky in places. Noel told me last weekend they have extended it and added some features so it's bound to be good. it will make for close, fast racing. I can't make it myself, hopefully some of the rest of you can
