Enduro Training And Gravity Enduro RD 1 Practice

So in between Training and XC Nps Ive had a little time to do some training for the 2013 Gravity Enduro Ireland Series. Today was the practise day for the First round of the series in Carrick Co.Wicklow. Alan and I Arrived down to to carrick around 10:15. We got the bikes out of the car and got them sorted. We then went to meet up with the rest of the MAD crew to go sign on for the practise and race. After sign on we headed out onto the mountain and went to stage 2 to begin with. After a short 15 minute transition we arrived at stage 2. I'll let the video do the trail explaining but stage 2 is really fast
and fun

 After that we continued on doing the next transition up to Stage 4. Stage 4 had the most changes of all the trails. There was a new middle section and a new lower section that was a very muddy and pedally. It has been changed for race day tomorrow. Although it was muddy it was a good fun and put some of the xc mud training from last weekend at Cong to get through it. At the end there is a brilliant flowy jump section.

The Last stage we did was Stage 5. After the longest transition of the day we arrived up at the very top of the mountain. We stopped for a little bit of food at the open area at the top under the blazing sun. Stage 5 is basically the Dh NPS course and is one off the longest descents I know of. It had a new pedally part near the end but some mud got on the camera so had to cut it out of the video. Good luck to the MAD crew racing tomorrow and Luke Courtney/Joesph Clancy from the Development Squad. Thanks to Niall Davis for the Race setup and Hope the Weather isn't to bad tomorrow.

Finally here is a video of some of my training from the past few months when I wasn't Racing XC or XC training.
