There are some familiar names in the Senior division who will all be looking to put series points on the board, including Darnell Moore, Robin Seymour and Graham Boyd to name a few.

There may only be seven entries in the Senior Women’s race, but it is likely to be highly competitive. Following her successful summer competing in Cross-country, Caoimhe May will be looking to start the Cyclo-cross season off with a good result. She faces competition from Rachel Newell, Stephanie Roche, Laura Birley, Niamh Stephens, Elena Wallace, and Doireann Killeen.
