After the launch of the new Development programmes for 2008, Cycling Ireland received outstanding responses from our aspiring young athletes both male and female. This was extremely encouraging for the growth of performance cycling and such a response had never been seen before for any National programme. This has set the path for an exciting 2008 programme.
To this end, Cycling Ireland, and it’s Off Road Commission*, are planning to hold testing sessions to access the potential of our off-road athletes with the intention of enhancing the MTB/Off road development programme. The first testing session will be in the Ulster Province on Saturday 26th April in Craigavon Watersports Centre from 10am.
Other testing days will be held throughout the provinces in the coming weeks.
Applicants for testing are invited from all riders, male and female over the age of 18, who are aspiring to compete internationally in the 2008 season and beyond. Applicants are required to submit a short CV on their cycling performances.
Applications and CV’s are to be returned to Brian Nugent at brnugent@yahoo.co.uk .
For further information, contact Brian on the above e-mail or +353 (0) 878333851

* we received the follow message from Cycling Ireland's Offroad Commission:
MTB Testing – Correction
On behalf of the Cycling Ireland Off Road Commission I would like to point out that the article placed on this site about MTB testing is incorrect. The article refers to Cycling Ireland and the Off Road Commission. I can assure all riders that the Off Road Commission has nothing whatsoever to do with the testing.
The testing is being carried out by Cycling Ireland’s High Performance Team, so if any rider has any questions please contact CI HP.
Regards,
Andy Potts
Chairman Cycling Ireland Off Road Commission
