Cyclocross

With only one race to go in this seasons calendar (Sean Sharkey next Sunday) it’s time to reflect on the CX season.

What a venue, what a course. Thank you Greenmount Cycling Academy for treating us to a spectacular weekend. It was a privilege to get to race in Limerick on Saturday and watch the amazing talent on display all weekend.

It is such a treat to be able to practice and race on a UCI World Cup course as a u14 rider. Similar to last year, the day before the main event there would be support races for the u14, u16 youths as well as junior, senior, masters and women riders. The course had everything from long fast straights, twisty technical sections, barriers, a long sand section, steep climbs and tricky descents. Around the course was the impressive start / finish gantry, a number of fan zones, large LED screens and an impressive podium.
