Just back from the Gravity as a spectator, great fun to watch, damn jealous I didn't enter though looked like great fun! Got some pics but very few of imbrcers as I legged it when it started pissing rain, seen mr mc cluskey descending stage 5 like a rocket. Will post pics later.

Ha ha I lost a bundle of time on the muddy stuff at the bottom.  The event of the year without a doubt so much fun.  Heading there on a night spin during the week.  Carrick is going to become a mecca for enduro ridders, well done to biking.ie for opening up all the trails.

Cracking event, just glad to finish it in one piece, can't say the same about Colt Seavers, took a bit of a battering today

Some amazing trails in there.

Fair play to Scott flying through the course on a xc hardtail, hardy stuff

[Colt Seavers]

Great event. Gave it a lash today.
Broke my left pedal on stage 2 just to add to the fun.
Had a front wheel blow out on the fasted section of stage 4 which ended up we me in a heap
Had to run it to the stage end. Cheers Craig for the body armour.
Stage 5 was mental and feeling a bit battered I took it handy just to finish in one peice.
The rain made stages 4 and 5 very tricky.
Good turn out from the club and we all had the crack

Great trails up in Carrick, made for great racing yesterday! I done ok on four stages, but got two punctures at the same time (dont ask me how I done that), about 50m into stage 2....ended up running the whole thing, so I finished I think 5th yesterday. Feckin disaster. Thanks James yet again for getting me to finish the race! Won the over all series though and I managed to beat Jess Stone on fastest time on a stage...so that took the sting out of not making podium yesterday!
Well done to all who raced, hopefully more IMBRC'ers will race this next year!
Well done to Orla too, she came 3rd in her category in the over all series!!! She wasnt there to collect her trophy.....I wonder does she know?!!

[DaveyD]

Well done all, seems like it was a great series. Well done to Rose and Orla on great results.

[Paul]

Well done folks...!! 

Great results for Rose and Orla..!! Rose you should by some tubeless wheels now with the prize money 

Orla was burst herself on the last stage and got her her leg tatooed by her chainring... So after finishing the stage she went to the medic and they decided she needed stitches, so she spent the rest of the day in A&E waiing to be stitched up...! Shes grand now.

Good to see Colt Seavers living up to his name too

Great to see the Girls are holding up the Gravity Enduro titles for IMBRC!!!!.......Well done Rose - fair play after 2 punctures on stage 5 - some woman!!!!
Yes I have some fine leg art to show off - will post photo shortly for ye to admire!!
Had to rush off unfortunately before finding out the I came 3rd and was unable to collect in person - but was presented with it in work this morning by Peter Boaden - work collecgue here who came 1st in Overall mens category.....It has made up for the fall yesterday!

Great to see so many IMBRC colours out there too - well done all!

O.. 

[Colt Seavers]

Fair play Orla, stage 5 was mental and wasn't helped by the rain. hope the leg gets better soon.
great crack yesterday with plenty of trills and spills for most of us

[Scott B.]

Fair play to all who raced and thanks for the company lads, the last two stages will put hair on anyone's chest (man or woman!!) and thanks for the 99 (colt ) never tasted so good after that day...!

Great result by Pearse and Kevin 

[RoseG]

Well the front wheel of my bike was tubeless and the back wheel had a tube in it....so looks like there was no escaping that little technical glitch. Well actually there was....new tires!! I'll get better set up for this king of 3 rock race.
