Georgia State Championship  #5 + GSC Short Track – Allatoona Creek park – Acworth, Ga

The 5th round of the GSC took place in Acworth just North of Atlanta and featured not only a challenging XC course but an equally challenging short track bonus race on Saturday. The weather was what I would call pre-summer, temps around 90 but low humdity and dry, pretty nice conditions for mtb racing in Georgia. Saturdays short track featured a nice layout of about 50% single track and 50% open trail and say some super close racing that went down to the wire. It was Douglas Gambarota taking a narrow win over Elliott Baring while Simone Berger claimed the victory in the womens ST. Sunday the temperatures rose a few degrees but it was still great racing weather and new winner to the series Antonio Guzman fought hard with series leader Jesus Martinez that came down to less than a second. Meanwhile Simone Berger racked up another win in the women’s cat 1 class and continues to lead her series.
