New GRAVITYENDURO race series
Niall Davis ( XC and DH world cup racer and Single Speed World Champ) has announced an exciting new Gravity Enduro series for Ireland next year. Ireland is the perfect place for Enduro, you can access the trails year round and cover some serious single track miles on an average ride.
There are so many different formats for Gravity Enduro racing but the Irish one is the perfect combination of competition and a great day on the bikes with your mates. It’s a two day event with practice on Saturday and the race on Sunday, so make a weekend of it.
What makes this event unique?
There’s a Pot of Gold at the end of each special stage! (Well a cash prize)
Irish pub on Saturday night for the pre race “Energy Guinness”
No transition time limits so you can relax and enjoy the day
Natural trails- No boring trail centre courses
You can start the event in any order; you could ride together with a group of your pals for example.
Each venue will have its own unique terrain and challenges. Routes are about 25km long and have 4 or 5 “special stages” (5-10mins long) running simultaneously, depending on the event. Riders are broken up by age categories and one Pro Category. Entry opens 1st December.
Dates and Venues:
Round 1: Wicklow – 8th April
Round 2: Dublin – 17th June
Round 3: Limerick – 1st July
National Championships: 12th August (to be announced)
Round 4: Wicklow – 9th September
