Race Report: Secret Squirrel  Mountain Bike Race 2019 


Some serious shredding went down at the Secret Squirrel MTB race. Held at the infamous Freetown State Forest. The race was much different from previous years, consisting of a well-balanced 7.5 mile loop. The course featured the Freetown tech you know and love (plus a few new tweaks). There's definitely no shortage of large rock features in the forest. With plenty of tech to keep the locals happy and enough short breaks in between for those who don't practice rock gardens enough. This was a true XC course that offered something for everyone. It was the most technical course on the Bubba Trophy Series so far. 


Massachusetts saw 21 days of rain in April and that wouldn't be the case this weekend. All things considered, the trails at Freetown State Forest were still in great shape.




Riders were able to find flow

Huge thanks to our sponsors for their continued support through this journey 







Location: Freetown-Fall River State Forest, 110 Slab Bridge Rd, Assonet, MA 02702, USA

Six Gap of North Georgia

     This challenging and breathtaking route will take you on a rollercoaster ride of peaks and valleys. The Gaps has sections with sustained grades of 9 to 12 percent, so be ready for some serious climbing. As the ride progresses don’t forget to pay attention to your surroundings, as you will be experiencing some of the most stunning landscapes. The  entire loop including the short 3 mile US 129 connector is 77 miles long. The southern loop is 35 miles and the northern loop is 38 miles. Each of the six segments includes crossing through a mountain “gap” or low pass, hence the name Six Gap. Four of these gaps are at points where the Appalachian Trail crosses the roadway. Woody’s Gap - will reward your hard day’s efforts with a long and scenic descent.     The Six Gaps is a tough but fun ride and is one of my personal favorites -- take on the challenge and you won’t be disappointed. 230 Washington St Weymouth, MA 02188 (781) 337-7125       ...

🍁 Maple Is My Staple 🍁

   🍁      Maple Is My Staple  🍁      Bike wheels are prone to wear and tear over many miles ridden. So, if you’re a cyclist, replacing your wheels is inevitable. However, getting replacement wheels can be difficult with the many options available on the market. Good carbon fiber wheels are supposed to be strong, durable and lightweight. I opted for a set of  Maple  and couldn’t be happier with one race season under my belt on these wheels. Here are a few reasons why. Maple offers excellent perf ormance for it’s price, specifically designed for their toughness. These wheels have been battle tested in New England on rough trails and rougher roads. This has provided Maple with the ultimate proving grounds to create wheels for everyday use and not just specific wheels for racing or training. The most affordable “one wheelset” is extremely versatile and can handle any terrain encountered through gravel, cyclocross, rocks, roots a...

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 ...
