Gravity Enduro Rnd 4

This weekend was the final round of the 2014 Gravity Enduro season.  Niall and his dream team had put in a huge effot to make the last round special with one complete new stage and new sections on old favoutires.

Saturday was spent scoping lines with Dan Wolfe, Gavin O Connell and John Mason. The trails were fast, rocky and dusty and I was looking forward to Sunday.

I got off early on Sunday and blitzed my way down and up stage 1 to get the third fastest time overall.
Thanks Keith for the photo
 Stage 2 is one of Carrick's best stages and I was delighted to only be 2 seconds off the win here and to get 4th fastest time overall.

It was looking like it was going to be my best result of the season until stage 3. I got 11th overall on this stage but suffered a blow to the head somewhere on the trail and got concussion so I have no memories of stage 3. Scott and Leah came down the stage behind me and found me disorientated at the bottom and took me up to the paramedic who stopped my race and sent me to the ambulance.
Thanks Adrian Van der lee
Disappointing not to finish the race but at least I got to see the entire world cup.
I definitely gave it 100% all year and thanks to everyone who has helped me this season, especially Paddy Daly and Scott bikes for supplying everything I needed to race this season. Not ideal to dnf two races but that's all my bad luck done for Enduro now hopefully. I've learned a lot and am excited to make a return in 2015 bigger and better.  

Until next year... check me out at 30 seconds and a minute  Here
