If riders do not have their own mountain bike, they can be hired at Castlewellan (this can be organised at the expense of the parent of the rider). After lunch, parents will pick up riders from Tullymore, time will be confirmed closer to the day.
The CUYA are requesting a contribution from each rider for the weekend. It will be £25.00 for a single rider, or if 2 riders from 1 family attending it will be £40.00.
