Update!! It's been a while.

So its been a while since I last updated the blog. So much has happened in the last couple of months with getting through the leaving cert and trying to train and race at the same time. Happy to be done the leaving and be able to concentrate on biking and racing. So since i last updated the blog I have done the last round of the 2014 Gravity Enduro series, the last round of the IDMS in Carrick, The first 2 rounds of the 2015 Gravity Enduro series and the 3rd round of the Vitus First Track Enduro Cup.

So last year things went well, not quite as I had hoped but got some solid results. Came 3rd at all all rounds of the Gravity Enduro series and 4th at champs. Had an amazing time away racing Megavalanche, finishing 270th in the Main race and battling it out on the World Enduro Stage in Scotland to finish 9th in junior.

So this year with the leaving cert I came into the race season a little bit unprepared and unfit due to not getting enough time on the bike. I was also racing in a new category as I was out of Juniors and into 19-29 and I didn't know how it was going to work out. Come the first race of the year the Gravity Enduro on 3Rock we had great conditions up till the day of the race where it turned into a monsoon! his played to my advantage and managed to win the race by nearly 2 minutes.

So after the first race there was a 2 month gap till the race which gave me some time to get the Exams out of the way. The 2nd round of the Gravity Enduro series fell the weekend I finished the exams so I had been of the bike for a couple of weeks. Considering that I managed to come away with 2nd on 1.5 seconds of the win. So after 2 rounds I'm leading the overall standings by 50 points. the Next round of the series is in Djouce which should suit me well and I can hopefully put in a good effort to keep my overall lead.

Vitus First Track Enduro RD3

Last weekend I was racing the 3rd round of the Vitus First Track Enduro Cup in Rostrevor. Brilliant course with some really nice stages and at 30km long it was a big day out on the bikes. All was goin well for the first 3 stages but on the 4th i bust a chain guide and dropped the chain 1/2 way into the stage and had to run the end of the stage. Thought my day was over  so went all out down the last stage and managed to make enough time back to win my category by 0.82 of a second. Super stoked to take the win on completely new trails with the problems I had.

Looking forward to more racing and have to thank Expert cycles for there continued support.
