Saturday
Get Geared Up!
Saturday will be all about race prep. Get yourself signed up, grab a coffee and head out on the course to pick some killer lines. Just make sure you don’t stand still for too long as you might be given a job!
There will also be a few local trail heroes on hand to offer advice on bike setup and race tactics.
We will also have some top XC racers giving guided laps of the course during the day….details to follow
Sign on open – 13:00 – 16:00
Note: No camping will be allowed in the field.

Sunday
Get your race face on!
As the racers prep their bikes in the Team Village, families and loved ones are welcome to enjoy all of the festivities from our in house DJ to face painting and a Bouncy Castle.
Things get serious at 12:00 with the kick off of the sports race. Knowing the way EPIC build courses this is even likely to attract a few DH legends. Any sand baggers found in the sports field will be in for a mandatory face painting! All the race action will be streamed live to massive outdoor screens in the car park and Richie Byrne will be on hand to offer some EPIC style commentary!

Rider Up! – The day will then really start to hot up at 13:30 with the start of the Elite Men’s race.
Note that riders will be gridded according to the 2010 XC NPS positions.
A separate post will be issued on this site advising of the grid positions.
A number of riders are tipped for a win here but with each of them calling Djouce ‘home’ this is sure to be a battle of EPIC proportions. Hot on the heels of the Elite Men will be the Elite Ladies followed up the climb of the death by Junior Men, Vets and then, by what guarantees to be the race of the day, Masters!

If you’re not first you’re last! – After what promises to be some world class racing we’ll have all the riders in and *there will be no expense spared in congratulating the winners and loser of the day as we crown our new National Champion!
