Cyclo Cross Clonmel.

the first.

tell me more.....

michael196

Interest in the Wexford Cyclo Cross. Still waiting for suggested routes in Wexford .

October -November Time frame

Kilmore Quay / Curralcoe as potential sites

Curracloe has beach / forest and sand dunes access, solid flat fast shorelines, with tidal lakes, running tracks and horse tracks through forested areas fronting to sand dunes and beaches. Away from the more public beach areas of Curralcoe Beach. .

Kilmore has the above except the forest aspect. Sand dune fronting to pebble beaches.

Still want more options to explore in Wexford , preferably closer to Wexford town.

Whats with all the sand Mick - it's Cyclocross, not Beach Volleyball!!! I'd say you wont have too many interested in anything with more than a short section of sand. The section of deep gravel in Swords last year ripped a load of rear mechs off bikes - sand like in the dunes at Curracloe would be a disaster.

TOM CASHEL

Have been making some progress with my own club, Cycling Ireland and Cyclo Cross organisers with hosting a race in cashel. There seems to be interest, now needs to push on.
Really great course is available, with hills, couple of obstacles, road section etc. even has WCs and showers, and area to clean bikes and park.
A friend brought this thread to my attention, seems like an obvious idea to propose a combined weekend of tipp cross events? From speaking with Cyclocross guys it seems there is an operning in the calender for October Halloween weekend, This is a bank holiday and would suit a double event perfectly.
Please contact me by private message If interested.

That sounds like a great idea to have them both on the same weekend there could be a sharing of infrastructure etc

thinking more like the solid sand back at Raven point. Racing blocks travel there with no affect .

yes tom, will contact your via PM

Newchapel is nearest to clerihan which is 10-15 miles from Cashel

Certainly interested in looking at the facilities in Cashel and working from there.

No facilities in Newchapel realy.

Both locations are near to the motorway so we can attract the Dublin Series cyclos.

BRING ON THE DOUBLE HEADER!!

Weekend of 24th of november has nothing on the calendar....

michael196

Tom,


a name for the Series : Perhaps:

the 'Tipperary South Cyclo Cross Series'

michael196

Both circuits wil be inspected this weekend.

Saturday and Sunday Nov 02 and Nov 3

Tipperary South Cyclo Cross: The Muddy Cup

michael196

Both Courses walked this past weekend. Both Courses Quite different in whats offered Terrain wise.

Both feature sloping Terrain , enclosed bothareen type sections. Both have hard tarmac / asphalt sections. Hard pulls up out of the road sections.

Remarkably both courses are approximatly only 20 minutes apart. ...

Both are currently in a dry state, farily smooth and well drained.

The Cashel course features the Cashel Rock Monument in the background and an adjoining monastery, while the Newchapel Course has you looking at Slievenamon and the Comeraghs

We are hoping to bring together the Munster and Leinster Cyclo Cross riders, in competition, to these two back to back venues, both located near Cashel Co Tipp, just off the Cork to Dublin Motorway.

25sean

2 weeks to go!!!!!
