Newnan GSC weekend wrap up
June 30, 2024
Georgia State Championship series #7 – Brown’s Mill Battlefield park – Newnan, Ga

https://goneriding.com/gsc-h/

Well no two ways around it… It was HOT! The muggy summer heat that Georgia is know for was on full display over the weekend, with even a little shower to pump up the humidity on Saturday before the start of the Time Trial. However the trails were in good shape and even great shape by race time on Sunday. The Time Trial was won by Dustin White with a 15.3 mph average on the 7 mile fun filled course and a time of 27:27:04 with slightly slick conditions.

Luke Harris came out on top of a very competitive elite men’s field (saving his best lap time for the end with a 26:51:54) that saw a lead group of five or six battle throughout most of the race but on the last lap things broke apart and then it was every man for himself. Olivia Esposito was the fastest of the females on the day.

The series overall awards were held at the race site and along with celebrating all of the champions and podium finishes there were three special awards handed out. Daniel Johns most improved Junior, Rebecca Sterner most improved female and Eric Hunner most improved rider. Congrats to all!

Acworth GSC round up
May 19, 2024
Georgia State Championship series #4 – Allatoona Creek trails – Acworth, Ga

https://goneriding.com/gsc-e/

Dodging wet weather has been a challenge this season and we almost got away with a dry one at Acworth, the Saturday short track was perfect and dry however overnight the rains fell and although Sunday was Sunny the course was destined to be on the wet side. The 6 mile course contains a lot of turns, rocks and roots with some rolling climbs and descents and overall the trail was in good shape but the slick roots and some muddy spots keep the riders attention throughout the day. Dustin White took a close win over the rest of the men’s classes during the ST and Isabella Fountain took the women’s top medal. Sunday it was Nicholas Van Winkle that logged the fastest laps in the men’s and Iris McHaggee can claim the quickest of the women. Many thanks to the club volunteers at SORBA west Georgia and to the Cobb county park management. Next race is coming memorial day weekend in Conyers!

Crush’n it at Croom
May 11, 2024
Florida Endurance series #7 –Croom Crusher – Brooksville, Fl

Got pretty lucky overall with the weather as some much needed rain fell Friday night on a course that is notorious for sand but with the help of the Brooksville/Croom trail maintenance group a new layout this year helped immensely as not only was much of the sand avoided but the flow was better as well. The 27.3 mile course also took in a little more technical trail just to spice things up. Not saying it was easy as the temp’s were in the 90’s but the humidity was relatively low thankfully.

Crushing the marathon class overall was Matt Dockins who turned in two laps in 3:19:19 for an amazing 16.4 mph average. Andrea Lemieux landed the win in the women’s long distance race. Alberto Maracano took another sprint open class win in a time of 1:43:44 and Brook Foster claimed the women’s sprint win with a very respectable 13.3 mph average.

The overall series awards were presented to the class champions and top three awardees, claiming the men’s marathon overall was Gilberto Araujo and women’s marathon champ was Dianna Bridges. In the sprint classes it was Alberto Maracano with a near perfect score of 199 points out of 200 and Susan Van Bernum rose to top of the women’s sprint championship with 176 points after seven rounds and two bonus races.

Many thanks to all of the series sponsors and volunteers. Congratulations to all of the finishers, winners and champs, it was great season and already looking forward to next year!

Yodeling at Yonah
April 28, 2024
Georgia State Championship series #3 – Yonah Mtn trails – Cleveland, Ga
https://goneriding.com/gsc-c/

Another picture perfect race weekend for the GSC season so far, this time up in the NE Georgia mountains (near the town of Apine themed Helen Ga, hence the yodeling reference) , this relatively new trail system is gaining a lot of praise from the racers as being one of the funnest on the circuit. This year the distance per lap was trimmed down a bit to an even 7 miles but still featured lot’s of the good stuff including the technical 250 rocky section that had a number of riders taking a second look at before attempting. It also has nice way of starting and finishing on a downhill, pretty cool! Many thanks to the North East Georgia SORBA club that had the course and the race running smooth for the weekend!

Nick Mackie took the overall men’s race by less than a second while Hailey Nelson was the top female on the day. Next series race is this coming Sunday on May 5th in Talking Rock, Ga (another very cool trail BTW)!

Fast times at the Hammer Head
April 21, 2024
Florida Endurance series #6 – Hammer Head – Ocala, Fl

https://goneriding.com/fle-f/

The weather turned near perfect on Sunday after a pretty hot Saturday pre ride day but the trail was on the dry side so some sand and dry leaves meant the racers had to stay on their toes during the race. The 25 mile loop starts at the landbridge trailhead and heads west taking on a variety of challenging terrain that then returns back to the landbridge for a fast run to the finish. This year a new category was added as the E MTB class one bikes took to the trail first at 8am followed by the marathon (50 mile) & ultra (75 mile) classes and then finally the sprint or one lap classes.

William Able took the men’s E MTB win and Stephanie Lamer won the women’s while finishing a strong 6th overall against the men. The sprint category fastest male was Alberto Maracano, fastest female was Brooke Foster. In the marathon classes it was Victor Alber (fastest analog bike finish at 15.7mph) taking the men’s win and Simone Berger claiming the women’s 50 mile class. The Ultra marathon classes were won by Matt Dockins and Amy Talbot (pictured). Congrats to all the winners and finishers!

The FLE leaders jerseys leaders are Dianna Bridges and Gilberto Araujo going into the final round at Croom on 5-11-24.
