Millstone Grind



Millstone Grind

A look back at the Root 66 Race Series. While the Root 66 Race Series is no longer a formal series, many of the races still exist. The below GoPro clip contains footage from race number 3 in the Kenda Cup East mountain bike race series which was presented by Sho-Air and RideBiker Alliance. The race venue was in a farmers field that didn’t drain well – it quickly turned into a slop fest. With temperatures in the 50s, everyone was scrambling to dig up more base layers, and limb warmers. The heavy rain turned the entire course into thick peanut butter. These less than perfect conditions led to a sizable increase in lap times, so the promoter cut us from 3 to 2 laps. Enjoy my Gopro footage as it does capture the less than ideal conditions.

Throwback - Pats Peak MTB Festival Race 2015

The Pats Peak Mountain Bike Festival is a Mountain Biking race in Henniker, New Hampshire. The event is held at Pats Peak, which is an independent alpine ski resort. This place has a never-ending circuit of switch-backs and climbing, which is precisely what anyone signing up to race on a ski mountain should expect. The XC course is open for riding all season. The race lap contains 7.1 miles and 897 feet of vertical per lap. In my opinion the hardest XC course in the New England series. On this day the cross-country race track climbed high on the mountain and offered good spectating for downhillers taking the easy way up on the lift.
