MTB Isolation Cup update

Here are the Strava Routes for this weekend’s Isolation Cup at Riflebutts:

The Cross Country loop;
The Hillclimb; and
The Downhill.

Tomorrow afternoon we’ll save the segments and use them to sort out the results over the two days.

As mentioned in yesterday’s News, times can be posted to Strava between 7am and 4pm Saturday and/or Sunday. Your best time on each segment will count towards the final result, based on Damian’s handicapping.

The XC Loop is signposted with blue on white arrows. The HC and DH are signposted with red arrows.

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to download the Strava app to your phone.

And don’t forget to subscribe to MMBCC News on the website Home page to keep up with results.
