Top day! I didn't get to race due to illness but it was great entertainment and I loved the chillin' atmosphere.
It was great to see two regular riding buddies get on the C class podium. Legends!
Looking forward to the next enduro at Garapine! Fantastic tracks.

Yup... damn annoying. I've been away and hadn't registered, had a few of us lined up for the gravity enduro.

From what I see the XCO is being run by a different club, but the DH and GE have been cancelled.

Hoping I can get to the Garapine event... I need some form of racing! As Andy said, let's show what sort of turnout we can get so these things run.

Well the Garapine Gathering Gravity Enduro is done and dusted. Thanks to Gravity MTB and Andy Fellows for putting on an excellent event and to Stinky for running the timing. Congrats to Mike Zande for taking out the win in A grade. It was as hot as hell, with my Garmin saying it was over 35 in the shade. The track was dry and loose, making for totally different racing to the last event there a couple of months ago. With 30minutes to the top I played a time game to try and get to the top with just a couple of minutes before having to start the next track so as not to cool down. Between tracks 3 and 4 one of the riders had a big crash landing of his sternum on a rock and busting both his wrists. So we had to wait for this to be sorted before we could start track 4 and some of the competitors could run track 3 again.

Only a smallish group of racers (approx 40) turned up. Not sure why, as I saw the race advertised everywhere, but alot of people said they didn't know about it. This is the "BEST" IMO form of racing. Was interesting to see the top of the table in A grade mostly full of ex Vet DHers.
