10-22-23 – Florida State Championship series #4 – Vortex Trails – Ocala, Fl (Julio Gomez pictured)

Humidity has left the house in Central Florida (at least for the weekend) and round four of the series was held under blue skies and dry conditions. A 6.5 mile combined a mix of rocky red trails in the first few miles followed by flowing fast single track the rest. Many thanks to the OMBA Ocala Mountain Bike Association for building and maintain the trail system.

The elite men’s class saw multi time champ Ryan Woodall take a convincing win while Samatha Spiegelman claimed her second win of the season. The Pemon Cycling FSC Leaders Jerseys stayed with Amy Talbot but for the third week in a row a new men’s leader stood on the box, this time it was Tim Zimmerman.

Team Bike Parlor leads in the team competition by just one point at the half way mark of the season.

The top E MTB racers on the day in the Gear Bicycle Sales E Bike series were Tim Zimmerman in the men’s open class and Lisa Bloomberg took the win in the women’s.

Next event is 11-4/5-2023 at Harpe park in Lakeland!
