Mtb Events April 2013

Post by Rudolf »

Here are a few options for the mtb calender in April. Both are excelent events. Any body up for one of these or both?

Gravity Enduro 20/21 April Co Wicklow

Lough derg challenge 6/7 april 2013

If you know of another mtb event in the same month please post it on the thread. If you know one for May make a new topic for Mtb Events May 2013 etc.

I was talking to Jim about the MTB Challenge at the Christmas party - suggesting a return to the scene of his podium finish!
The two day would be good alright..

Early days Rudolf, but I reckon I'll definitely be on for the Enduro.
Not sure about Lough Derg, would like to as I've never done it before. Does a two day event get double club championship points?

I'd like to give the Enduro a go too. Not sure about the two day, did it a few years ago a lot of road/fireroad. Maybe if there was a gang going down to stay? i've a big tent! and my feet don't smell!

@DC - no, as a matter of fact you would only get 5 points as its a one off

And this one. The Lough derg challenge is briljant. Unforunately i can tmake this. The stage racing is great and inbetween stages there is food and a nice relaxing cycle back to the start with great views along the way. So pick a day or better do both days.

The Gravity enduro is later that month. Carrick is a blast to ride with loads of deadly trails.

Hello Brian,

I dont think i can make this race. Looks like a good track but I am still taking it easy on the bike.
