Westport Covey Wheelers said:
"Westport Covey Wheelers CC are excited to host Round Three of the Cyclo-cross National Series and we look forward to welcoming the best cyclo-cross riders from around the country. Last year Westport played host to round one of the Series and both riders and organisers enjoyed an action-packed day of racing on a super course on the grounds of Westport Country Lodge Hotel. The course is in good condition despite all the recent rainfall. We expect a fast race on the flowing circuit. See you all on Sunday!"
