The Cyclo-cross season is well and truly underway, with Round 2 of the Cyclo-cross National Series taking place this Sunday, 27^th of October in Clonbur, Co. Galway, hosted by Western Lakes CC.

Round 1 saw riders head to a wet Belfast as VC Glendale got the series underway.

The weather never dampened spirits, as a fantastic day of racing played out across all categories. Strong performances from Caoimhe May and Greta Lawless saw the pair take the wins in the Elite and Junior races respectively. Lawless followed this up by winning the UCI Elite race at Verge Cross Clonmel the following week. Both Lawless and May will look to keep their early series momentum going but will have stiff competition from a strong field this season.

Spellman-Dublin Port’s Curtis McKee has hit the ground running this season with a win in the Junior races at Round 1 and again at Verge Cross Clonmel, and will no doubt look to keep that run going as he lines out this week in Galway.

Tadhg Killeen and Travis Harkness have both had strong starts to the CX season, with Killeen taking the win in Belfast ahead of Robin Seymour, and both Harkness and Killeen making the podium at the UCI event in Clonmel.

This weekend’s Round 2 is set to take place on the banks of the stunning Lough Mask, at the Petersburg Outdoor Education Centre. Directions are available HERE.

Riders are reminded that there is no camping on-site, but overnight parking is available at Clonbur GAA pitch, EirCode F12 DY63, just 1km from the event venue. Parking will be available here on race day, or in a field nearer to the venue.

Full Round One results are available HERE.

Entries for Round 2 are still open HERE.
