The 3rd and 4th rounds of the Irish DH Winter league are due to take place on 13/14th February and 27/28th February 2010 in Moneyscalp Forest, Co Down.

A helmet cam of the track will be posted later in the week.

 

Chain Reaction Cycling Club are keen to promote safety and supervision and to that end are offering free entry to any rider who provides a Marshall for the duration of the event. Voluntary Marshalls who have no connection with a rider will be paid the equivalent of an entry fee. All Marshalls will be provided with a “high viz” vest and whistle. There will be race site toilet facilities available as well as onsite catering.

 

The CRC Club would like to remind all riders and spectators that the race is on Forestry Service land and as DHing relies heavily on the FS for race venues it is important that the positive relationship that has been built up by the race organisers is not jeopardised by leaving litter in the forest. 

 

You are also reminded that mini bikes and the like are not permitted under any circumstances. Parking is also at a premium so please park your vehicles sensibly and allow local traffic easy access so that the event doesn’t unnecessarily attract the attention of the PSNI and the dreaded parking tickets.

Parking will be provided at the nearby Surf n Dirt Track, more information on this will be available closer to the time.
