all the details here folks:
Kippure Estate would like to invite you, your club members and anyone else you know who be interested in joining our Development Summer Series Mountain Bike Races to be held over the next few months here on the estate.
The races are open to beginners and intermediate racers of all ages.
Entrance fee will be €10 (€5 for a one day race licence and €5 to cover costs) and any additional money raised will be used towards developing such things as a skills course and bike wash facility here at Kippure to enable us to better host events for clubs in the future.
After the success for the XC Championships in 2008 and K-Capital Challenge Race Series final stage in 2009, Kippure Estate has entered into talks with Coillte, Wicklow County Tourism and Wicklow Rural Partnership to develop permanent mountain bike trails in the Athdown woods opposite the entrance to the estate. Coillte are very open to the idea and in conjunction with all parties a feasibility study is to be commissioned to look into the routes available, costing, etc.
We hope that you would support us with these races and pass the attached flyer around to you club members.
Thanks for your help and we hope to see you at Kippure in the near future.
