The Muddy Cup promises to be a great event that will bring cyclocross out of its traditional stronghold geographic areas
Not content with competing in the Dublin-based Fixx Coffeehouse Supercross Cup and Ulster Cyclocross Series leagues in the winter months, the cyclocross community is branching out from its traditional strongholds to run a race in Tipperary this coming weekend.
The Muddy Cup, promoted by South Tipperary CC, will unfold in Cashel on Sunday – November 24t - after an event planned for Newchapel on Saturday was cancelled.
The B race will start at 12.15pm with the A race main event getting underway approximately one hour later at 1.15pm.
The entry fee for either race is €20. And while riders are asked to register and pay online in advance to assist the organisers run the smoothest events possible, entries will be accepted on the morning no later than 12 noon.
