Scarbourgh Bicycle Accident law Florida Gravel Grinder series #1 + TT#1 – Cary Forest Grind – Bryceville, Fl Amazing weather for the opening round of Scarbourgh Bicycle Accident Law Florida State Gravel Grinder series presented by Trek Land o’ Lakes series. Cary Forest located in North Florida is a great location for gravel riding and racing and we were very glad we were able to make the switch from the originally scheduled weekend that was two weeks earlier because it would have been absolutely brutally cold conditions. So the riders were instead treated with low seventies and cloudy skies with […]

Coconut Cup series #5 – Oleta River State park – North Miami, Fl The recent South Florida cold snap finally broke just in time for the fifth round of the series in N. Miami with sunshine and mild temps ruling the weekend. The course is a challenging one for sure, despite the relative flat terrain and also a tough one on bikes as a number of riders experienced mechanicals. The Oleta Trail Blazers had the course prepped well (even power blowing the “rocky mile” section which was a big help), many thanks to the crew for making the weekend a

Sunday Caleb Adam put up a good fight

Florida State Championship series #8 – Santos Trails – Ocala, Fl Great wrap up for the series, cool in the morning and mild sunshine during most of the day, couldn’t have asked for a better weather setting. The Santos trails have been around since the early 90’s and despite some revisions along the way it still has that old school feel to it in many sections, which is to say tight technical and busy. The loop laid out for this years race featured many of those “techy” (or is it “techie”) type sections and the buzz was that it required

Coconut Cup series #4 + TT – Almelia Earhart Park – Hialeah, FlIt was a busy weekend in South Florida for mtb racers as both the Coconut cup and the FSC series had lot’s of points up for grabs in Hialeah. The Saturday race was the CC series Time Trial and it can also be used as a make up for the FSC bonus rounds so that meant there were plenty of riders that made the trip down from North and Central Fl. Sunday’s XC was also paying points for both series so there was a lot on the line

Florida State Championship series #7 + Coconut Cup #3 – Caloosahatchee Trails – Alva, Fl The FSC series seems to be moving at lightning speed as round seven is now in the books and also the CC series is now up to round three. It was another very pleasant weekend for the racers of both series weather wise with mild temperatures in the low eighties and fast dry trail conditions. The Florida Mudcutters club did a great job prepping the trails and helping with the event, many thanks to the crew. This course was similar to last weeks San Felasco

Florida State Championship series #6 – San Felasco Trails – Alachua, Fl Beautiful fall weekend in North Central Florida cool crisp air and fast dry conditions for the FSC racers at round six, the 11 mile course has had some recent maintenance thanks to the Friends of San Felasco trail crew and also many thanks to the club for keeping the riders safe by marshaling the event. The San Felasco trail has some good climbing and a whole lot of flow and the racers may have laid down some trial record speeds on this Sunday. The course also had a

Florida State Championship series #5 + Short Track + EMTB – Harpe park – Lakeland, Fl Another great weather experience at round five of the FSC which was also a makeup race weekend for the Coconut Cup.  The Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Association or RRMBA was out in force and had prepped the 6.7 mile course to perfection despite the dry spell, many thanks to all that they do for the sport! Saturday the series short track started at 3pm with the cat ½ men hitting the approximately one mile course and it was Yonathan Mejia winning by less than

Florida State Championship series #4 + EMTB + EMTB Time Trial – Vortex trails – Ocala, Fl Nice time of year to be in Florida for sure, sunshine, mild temps and no rain (until after the event that is). It was a busy weekend at the halfway mark of the season with a first ever E bike individual time trial held on Saturday and the regular XC races on Sunday. A healthy turnout for all and especially in youth classes which is always good to see. The Saturday E bike TT bonus point race was a slightly shorter version of
