Well done on the podium Scott! I reckon shooting is far easier than racing but I reckon I'll be tempted back to do another. Brilliant buzz!

General Discussion / Man better known for lurking with a long lens in Enduro participation shocker!!

Next week sees the Bluegrass Enduro Tour visit Ireland and in the hopes of raising a few quid for charity, I've entered the Men's race on the 17th.
Gravity Enduro Ireland are running the event and they say "Gravity Enduro combines the fitness of cross country riding and the technique of downhill racing."
I possess neither!
With that in mind and considering that the event will include cycling approximately 35km off road and racing over 6 special stages taking in three of the best biking venues on the east coast of Ireland, I'd appreciate if you could spare a few euros for the charities I've nominated. Down Syndrome Ireland & The Friends of St. Luke's. Donations can be made quickly and easily online at the following link www.mycharity.ie/event/alan_duffys_2014_enduro_event.
I've got some pretty serious competition out on the hill and just to make things interesting, propose to pledge a tenner personally for every position I finish above last in my age category.
I'm in the process of drumming up a few prizes to be raffled off before fundraising finishes, with every donation of a fiver buying a ticket into the draw.
Among the prizes so far are a bike rental at Ballinastoe/Ticknock in co-operation with Biking.ie and a shooting/images package with Action Pictures Ireland. I'll post more info on additional prizes as I get them.
Many thanks,
Alan

« on: February 28, 2014, 03:37:02 PM »Anyone going to this. Thinking of going if I can shake off this back injury.
Have'nt raced here b4 so don't know what the course is like. Anyone know ?
I raced the baggy shorts a couple of years ago. It's a nice enough track - nothing too technical or scary. Nice views to be had over Lough Corrib and Connemara if you're not too pushed about your position.

Anybody heading to this, past Sandyford (J14 on the M50) with space for one human, a bike and a camera? A nice coffee is offered and I'll take a picture of you

I'm up that way later on Jonathan. I'm only bimbling though (even more than usual!) as I'll be sorting out a shooting plan for the blitz. You'll doubtless overtake me at some point so catch up with you when you do!
