Fox Factory Barn Burner MTB Race 2019

Round 5 of the @bubbatrophy headed to Walpole, MA. The Fox Factory Barn Burner where racers raced through Adams Farm. Starting in the grass field, the whistle blew and racers stomped their pedals into the land of twisty tight singletrack, flowy loam, raw rock gardens, rooty punchy climbs (nothing big) and one steep, loose climb. With each lap boasting 350ft of climbing, but that doesn't mean it's fast because all the roots and turns and stuff really force you to be on your toes!

The Fox Factory Barn Burner is a classic New England style event that is just minutes away from Boston. A great race dubbed the Leg Burner.

A beautiful red barn and pavilion. Not only is it a rural visual delight, but also a wonderful place to have a picnic

The open fields a great place for the start and finish areas

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...

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.
