Georgia State Championship series #1 + TT#1 – Dauset trails – Jackson, Ga
It is always a little risky scheduling a bike race in Georgia in early March, you never really know what the weather is going to do till it happens. Well we got lucky this weekend as forecasted storms on Friday missed the area and very mild temperatures dominated the weekend which was a perfect recipe for a mountain bike race at the popular Dauset trails. A 7.5 mile loop was laid out that had a typical single track feel for the first half then became fast and hilly on the second half.
Saturday was the series first of three bonus rounds with a Time Trial race that measured the riders one by one against the course and it was Benjamin Fountain and Tina Morris claiming the top male and female spots on the day. Sunday saw Matt Dockins take a convincing win in the men’s top class while wife Pauline Dockins also won a close race for the women’s top honor.
Many thanks to all of the volunteers and staff at Dauset trails and to all of the sponsors, racers and families that make the series happen. Next round will be at Yonah Preserve near Cleveland on April 23rd, see you there!
