UK Gravity Enduro Round 2 - Innerleithen

Apr 29, 2013
by Johny Cook  
Round 2 of the Gravity Enduro was held on the Scottish Borders just outside Innerleithen. The five stages would test the riders indefinitely with 45-65 minute rides between each stage. With the weather being typically British everyone was faced with heavy showers and short moments of sunshine.

Stage one had some steep and hairpin corners which caught a few out on this downhill track.

As the rain kept falling the tracks were getting thick with mud making the racer's decide between taking it easy or gaining some time with the risk of crashing.

As riders neared the final stages they were still pushing hard and mechanicals weren't stopping them finish their race either.

The end of stage four seemed to be a chosen spot for riders to sort their bikes and grab their breath before one final push.
