The second round of the SA Gravity Enduro series had been postponed once due to the weather but that didn’t stop the event this time. Despite how appalling some of the conditions were!
We hit up Eagle Mountain Bike Park for the second round of the highly successful SA Gravity Enduro series, this round had already been postponed due to the weather but even with more sub par conditions for the event,A�it didn’t dampen peoples spirits. Four stages with climb trails/links in between saw a totally different event from round 1, big jumps on stage 2, rocks and tight corners on all the stages and the weather really made it interesting.
It was foggy near the top, real foggy! That didn’t stop Josh Flack from putting a bit of style in, nice!The stages lower down the hill were a lot better for visibility. Riders were trying to adapt their set ups for the conditions, whether they got it right is another question though…There is always a good mix of bikes and backgrounds out these events. It is always good to see the friendliness between different disciplines that generally don’t get a chance to mix it together. Check out the rocks!Fair to say the enduro style of riding/racing has really caught on here in SA.It was really wet and foggy if you didn’t get it the first few times… So much so visibility was a real challenge in many sections!Troy Brosnan showed a clean pair of heels by taking the win with a healthy twelve second margin. Always smiling too!
Results for the Elite guys looked like this;
1. Troy Brosnan
2. Andy Clarke
3. Dave West
4. Alex ‘Wankles’ Waddicor
5. Craig Yates
The next round heads to a little mountain biking oasis – Melrose!
