Killinchy Cycling Club will host the 1st round of the Ulster series of CX at Florida Manor, Killinchy in County Down.
Florida Manor is arguably one of the most stunning country estates in County Down and will provide an amazing location for what should be a challenging and enjoyable day’s CX racing for all categories.
This is a beautiful private estate which we are pleased to have secured for this event. We respectfully ask that all riders adhere to all marshals instructions on the day with regard to parking etc.
‘Dough heads’ a food van selling coffee, pastries, pizzas etc will be on site throughout the day to provide a service. https://www.facebook.com/Dough-Heads-NI-101198765570165/
All riders are asked to comply with current government restrictions in respect of Covid19.
Florida Manor can be booked for accommodation for those who may be travelling. This process has nothing to do with KCC and is done directly via Florida Manor itself. http://www.floridamanorni.com/cgi-bin/greeting?instanceID=1licence

Course description
The course will be close to the main car park overlooking the main house. NOTE: The house is private and should not be accessed. The race start will be on a wide tarmac section. The main races will involve a circuit around the large field looping round the old greenhouse, making good use of the inclines and the clumps of trees. On site there are some BMX style jumps which will be incorporated into the track. There is also a set of steps for some dismount action. There is a double pit in the centre of the field. Spectators will have great view of most of the circuit.
