K Capital Cup Round 2 Race Report

Round 2 of the K Capital Cup was held on Sunday, 25th March at Rostrevor forest park in Co. Down. The loop was on the short side (about 4km per lap and 5 laps for expert and elite women) but included a very steep and difficult fire road climb right at the beginning as well as steep downhill singletrack sections through forest with water crossings, log bridges and other obstacles to keep things interesting. The weather on the day was perfect and the course was mostly dry.

Well done to Cait Elliot who took 4th place in the Elite Womens category! This is an excellent result for UCD with Elites being the most advanced category in MTB racing. Oisin Boydell also achieved a strong result with 5th place in Experts.
