This will be my second time racing the Gravity Enduro at Ballinasteo woods and to be quite honest I was looking forward to it as the weekend was shaping up well with sunny dry weather for the trails and seeing everyone again!
Saturday
Niall was at it again with creating a system to make sign on as efficient without any que skipper's which created a good positive atmosphere to the start off the weekend and the day!
Practice went well with all the friends and was pretty happy with how the bike,myself and my lines went and what had to be done for race day

Sunday
Come Race Morning the day was looking a bit dreary and dark but rain seemed to hold off which was a relief for all racer's.....Being seeded from Round 1 i was first off at 9:50am.
I was feeling good out on course while trying to be as consistent and smooth as possible......
But sometimes feeling fast and good isn't as fast as you should be and it certainly showed when all the riders were in! Everyone has become so fast and standards driven even higher and for that I'll need to raise my game!
I came way with a steady 6th place which I will just have to settle for.

Well done to all the organisers and racer's for a fantastic weekend.
