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.

Race Recap 2022 FLE # 7 - Highway to Haile's - Newberry, FL
