The Irish road racing scene will be focussed on two stages races this weekend, with O’Leary Stone Kanturk running the Kanturk Three Day and 'Two Day' for youth riders. In Ulster, Carn Wheelers is promoting its Carn Wheelers Two Day.
However, be warned that entries are closing soon so if you are planning to race this weekend, you need to get in very quickly.
You can enter for the Kanturk stage races - senior and youth events - by following this link. And you can enter for the Carn Wheelers Two Day by following this link.
In Kanturk, a range of stage races - for youth riders, juniors, seniors and masters riders - is being run. Indeed, there is so much racing, and so much information set out about the events, it is best to closely study the race manual available at this link.
The senior Kanturk stage races – four stages over the three days – are open to C1, C2, C3, juniors, masters and women. One stage race is for those in the C1-C2 categories, with a separate C3 race being held.
There are also youth stage races – for U16 boys-girls, U14 boys-girls and U12 boys-girls – taking place over three stages of racing on Saturday and Sunday.

In Maghera, Co Derry, Carn Wheelers is promoting its C2 and C3 stage races on Saturday and Sunday. However, holding two separate events, rather than combining all riders into one race, will depend on entry numbers.
The first day of action, on Saturday, is comprised of a morning road stage and evening TT. The race will conclude with a road race on Sunday, finishing at Lough Fea.
