Enduro / Re: Saturday 'Waves of 5 riders' Enduro Practice

« on: April 12, 2015, 11:18:10 PM »

Tough conditions today, completely different with a bit of rain. Didn't look like Id make it out at all today, went over the bars yesterday at practice on stage 2, sprained my wrist but some nurofen plus and a bowl of hdfu this morning sorted me out  . Stages 1 and 4 were really shlompy, I struggled to control the bike, in the end I was just happy to finish all the stages. Super racing from all the lads, great to see a couple of podiums for the club again. Rode around with Pete who was flying and John Kelly, eventually tied up with Matt, Gary and Aaron. Was great craic as usual, for anybody who hasn't done an enduro yet get the finger out, ye don't know what you're missing.

Special mention to Scott who Wudve been 5th only for his controversial penalty.....

Really enjoyable weekend, absolutely delighted for PaulC to get his well deserved first Enduro podium. Really nice venue, trails were a nice mixture of rooty forest with trail centre stuff. I don't think it was nearly as well organised and the enduro series we have down here: Signage, marshalling etc - you also can't sign in any of your friends at registration which meant I had to tip around on my own as Scott, Matt & Aaron only registered on the Sunday and had a much later start time  (No way I was keeping up with Paul yesterday with the from he's in). That said it was firsttracks first race so hats off to them. They actually had a hardtail, category which is a great idea.
Scott had a great race which got him a top ten, Matt was flying and I was meh but happy to get this one under the belt after my time out.

Roll on the Ticknock one in a fortnite.
