MTB - National Marathon Champs - Sunday 14th September

Post by BrianM »

A new location and course for this years marathon, two laps of a figure 8 around Rostrevor totaling 70k with 1,600 mtrs climbing.

I will be loading up the van and making the trip up and back in the one day if anyone fancies joining me, thanks

Get in on this lads, it will be totally deadly, the trails in Rostrevor are super...
There is a shorter race distance also.

Hey Brian I might make that trip, seeing as how its a 2 lapper and a figure of 8 theres lots of options to bail if the going gets tough :D

Weather dependent of course. :D

That weekend doesn't suit Brian, best of luck.
Don't think my bike would be up to it anyway ;)

Well done to Ciara who brought home a medal from the North Yesterday and Brian and Jim endured 20% gradients for 2k and faced a 9k climb also. Hard going by the sounds of it.
