Bear Brook Classic MTB Race


Race Report: Bear Brook Classic Mountain Bike Race 2019 



BUBBA Trophy Series was thrilled to bring back the Bear Brook Classic 🐻 for year number 4. This year's race was the first stop on the Bubba Trophy Series. Bear Brook State Park, in Allenstown NH, was a great starting point as it offers a wide variety of trails. It felt good to be back racing with Bubba Trophy Series. They sure delivered the goods. It was great to see old racing friends and to have the chance to make new ones. The course design was perfect for the season opener. Conditions proved difficult, with cool weather and rain hitting the trails the day prior. We were told to that it would be flowy, but techy and tough all in one. Riders encountered a variety of terrain including everything from old farm roads, rolling hills, technical and tight pine forest single track, a touch of mud, some downhill flow, bridge crossings, and nearly 300 ft of climbing per lap. Naturally, this course also featured some of the best scenic views of the beautiful park. Each lap was approximately 10 miles long. The well known trails like Big Bear, Hemlock and Hedgehog were in great shape and didn't disappoint. The many moistened roots and rain lubricated rocks provided for some fun racing, which resulted in some interesting line choices. Glad to have put some race miles into the legs  🔥👌

Haile's Trails is a singletrack mountain bike trail in Newberry, Florida. A popular cross-country race loop that's only rideable during race weekends.The property is only open on FSC / FLE race weekends. On Saturday, the trails are open to everyone. On Sunday, they are only open to registered racers.      The racecourse views are breathtaking, the singletrack is in great condition and flows well, and you will be tested by the rugged terrain. Mainly the chunky rocks that are scattered around an old rock quarry. There are many elevation changes using the quarry terrain and medium to long climbs throughout.

Race Recap 2021 FLE # 6 - 30 /60 mile - Markham Masher

    The 2021 FLE #6 - 30/60 - Markham Masher, as the state racing season moves closer to the midway point, the racing venue moved to Seminole Wekiva Trail in Lake Mary, FL. The course consisted of 8 miles of flowing single track located in pine scrub and oak hammock of the Wekiva Springs State Park. The sun was out, the humidity was low and temperatures and trails were perfect for this annual South Florida stop on the FSC circuit. The race course was fast and flowy but also demanding because of all the tight and twisty turns.  Trail Map The start and brief       Going into the race, I felt great. I had my bike dialed, I knew my fitness was good, and felt like I had good knowledge  about the course. Everything worked out perfectly, aside from a close encounter with a non racer. The individual chose to ride the trail in opposite direction of the race course. We encountered each other on a blind corner. I was able to keep my ...
