Round 3 of the Kippure Challenge XC Development Series takes place this weekend in the grounds of Kippure Estate.  The course is a spectators dream with a short 3km loop featuring loads of singletrack and one nice fireroad climb that is not too hard.  For the riders it is also a great course  and after the success of the XC Nationals last weekend there will be many riders looking for another challenge and this is it (there are of course more events to come this year, more news soon).

Everything is rideable for beginners and away from the madness of an NPS Sports race it is the perfect spot to try racing for the first time.  Experienced riders are welcome too with the Sports A category filling this spot.

There is ample parking, accommodation & coffee shop on the grounds of the estate.
