Spinning around in the vortex

Florida State Championship series #4 + EMTB + EMTB Time Trial – Vortex trails – Ocala, Fl
https://goneriding.com/fsc-d/

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 the analog bikes courses by about a mile and it pitted one rider at a time against the course to determine who could lay down the fastest times. As always at the Vortex featured some very techie sections along with flowing single track. Will Able claimed the top male time and Stephanie Lamer won the women’s E-TT.

Sunday racing kicked off early with a strong turnout in the Shimano Youth series races on a one mile special kids course. The yellow, white and e bike waves followed and the action was nonstop for the rest of the race day, it was Ryan Woodall taking his third XC win on the series and establishing a 7 point lead so far, Darla Woodall also holds the lead in the women’s top class with curiously the same total points score (128) as husband Ryan and she has an impressive lead as well, so no surprises with the Neutral Service leaders jersey as both will hold onto the jerseys going into round five in Lakeland.

The Florida Commercial Appliance (Z-Boys) $50 fast lap went to Bob McCarty in the XC-1 50+ class. Team“Muddy Santos Shredders” racked up three more points to stretch their lead to 13 in the team standings.

The E MTB group had a shorter loop as mentioned and the racers had two laps of fast paced action, in the end it was Zach Kulp taking his first win of the series and Stephanie Lamer logging another women’s win in the books.

Next race is another double header in Lakeland on November 1st & 2nd which will include a series Short Track and XC plus E MTB plus it is a Coconut Cup make up race.

Florida State Championship series #3 + Coconut Cup #2 + EMTB – Markham park – Sunrise, Fl

https://goneriding.com/fsc-c/

It has been a very rainy season in South Florida but thankfully it stumbled to a stop just in time for the combined FSC / CC race at Markham park. The Markham park trail crew had set up a “wet course” just in case but as it turned out a small dry cool front rolled in and the conditions were pretty close to perfect.

Racing at Markham park is always competitive but when you add the top riders from both the state series and the South Florida series all in one place it gets even tougher. The youth trail at this venue is one of the longest in the series at 2.2 miles and features lot’s of great riding and a fast flow at 8:30am thirty five of the best young riders hit that course to start the days racing off.

At 9:30am the yellow wave or advanced wave launched off the start line facing 6.7 miles of fast yet technical trail and the battles had begun with fast laps in the mid twenty minute mark and speed of over 16mph. Ryan Woodall came down from Central Florida walked away with a close win in the men’s elite class and Jennifer Moos stepped in to the series in the women’s top class and claimed herself a win as well. The Neutral Services Leaders Jersey stayed on the shoulders of husband and wife team of Ryan and Darla Woodall as the men’s and women’s overall points leaders.

The Florida Commercial Appliance (Z-Boys) $50 fast lap went to Dick McDonald in the 60+ class. Team “Muddy Santos Shredders” continues to lead the series team standings and even added a few points to their lead which now stands at 10pts.

The electric revolution returned to the series for the first time since round one at Tallahassee and the E bike racers were in for a treat as the trails at Markham have proven to be one of the fun’est on the pedal assist machines. William Able took the win in the men’s and Stephanie Lamer was the women’s winner.

Next race is this weekend in Ocala at the famed Vortex trails!

Coconut Cup series #1 + ST – Dyer Park – West Palm Beach, Fl

https://goneriding.com/cc-a/

After a string of wet events at Dyer park it was great to have a dry (or not at least not wet) race. There were threats of rain all weekend and even a few sprinkles now and then but Mother Nature apparently was just playing with us, the conditions were actually great, even the temperatures were nice hovering in the mid 80’s. Speaking of the conditions, the trail was laid out in perhaps the longest and most interesting version to date with a 6.8 mile loop that felt like two different courses, with one having a flat tropical forest feel with lot’s of turns and canopy and the other a climb and descend type with fast flowing turns and more in the open air (aka few trees). Many thanks to the club FORCE (Florida Off Road Cycling Enthusiasts) for putting it all together and keeping the riders safe all weekend.

Saturday the short track kicked off at 3pm and it looked like rain but no, it only sprinkled and then stopped just in time for the first wave of Cat 1&2’s to hit the course. The short track loop was a 1.2 mile layout that stayed mainly on the top of the hill and even featured some asphalt sections, the yellow or first wave had 4 laps to worry about and the two following waves (Cat 3 men and Women / Juniors) were slotted for three laps. In the end it was Marco Carrie taking the men’s overall, Roberto Ramirez claimed the second wave and Patricia Doring won the final wave and topping the women’s classes.

Sunday the youth racers hit the same trail as the previous day’s short track course at 8:30am. Following the riders meeting there was a well attended special “silent lap” to honor fellow mountain bike family member for Raquel Rodriguez who passed away this week and appropriately a rainbow occurred at the same time.

At 9:30 the yellow wave hit the trail and coming out with a strong solo win was Jacob Zimmerman, Marco Carrie however will take the points lead into Markham park next weekend. Patricia Doring made it a sweep for her weekend with an XC win to back up her ST first place on Saturday. Next CC race of the series is October 12th at Markham park in Sunrise which will also be an FSC race.
